Free Music Review: Vintage Guitar Magazine Review
Hit: 5 Stars

THIS IS FROM THE LATEST EDITION OF VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE, WITH THE REVEIW WRITTEN BY JOHN HEIDT.

Denny Jiosa is a player of immense chops and fire, and while jazz dominates this album, Jiosa is also at home with R&B and pop,and cuts like "Forward Motion" give him a chance to show off his inventive soloing and strong use of melody.
Almost every cut here sticks. Jiosa is a master of the light funk that dominates smooth jazz, but on "I Am Roxane," his fiery playing overrides any mixed emotions about the genre. His soloing mixes single lines with octaves, and there's even fuzzed-out rock. Effortlessly, both from a compositional and playing standpoint, he then glides right back into octaves to wrap it up. He shows off a lovely ballad touch on several tunes, including "Wounded Warriors," with it's great melody and fine playing. Same goes for his chordal work on the lovely "The Glass Half Full." The CD has a bonus cut that pays homage to Wes Montgomery, from whom Jiosa takes a lot of cues; "East of Montgomery" is an old-school jazz piece and the connection is obvious. Like the latter-day Wes, he plays with fire, grace, and blazing technique.-- John Heidt

Dreams Like This Poster

Denny Jiosa: DREAMS LIKE THIS Energetic, innovative, journeyman musician, fresh, pleasurable, dazzling, vibrant, improvisational, lyrical, virtuosic, masterful...these are just a small sampling of the terms that have been used to describe guitarist Denny Jiosa s music by some of the nation s most formidable music critics. With five exceptional CDs already under his belt, Jiosa stands out in today s field of instrumental musicians as one who refuses to compromise and always surprises. As Dirk Sutro, the author of Jazz For Dummies states, While some of the players are a little too smooth for my taste, some other artists in the contemporary jazz category make more challenging music. He lists Denny Jiosa among his favorites in the company of such stellar musicians as Fourplay, Spyro Gyra and Joe Sample. Originally from Huntington, Indiana, Denny has made Nashville his home for the past 21 years, immersing himself in the music scene as musician, composer, producer and arranger in a broad spectrum of musical genres. He has garnered Grammy nominations for three of the four albums he engineered and played on for Contemporary Gospel artist Yolanda Adams, his production/engineering and soloing work has appeared on recordings for sax player Kirk Whalum, "Take 6" and Phillip Bailey, to name just a few. Amongst his musical accolades Jiosa can include the SESAC National Performance Activity Award for his composition "Lights of the City," from the album Inner Voices and his most recent release body 2 body was featured on Air Force One. With his latest release, Dreams Like This, Jiosa once again breaks new musical ground. When Jazziz Magazine compared his playing to Eric Clapton s they also stated that he simmers rather than overpowers, and this has never been more evident than on this recording. With every listen to every song there are new layers unearthed, new intricacies to wow at. Denny himself describes this phenomenon best b y affirming, I sit down and play a guitar, and I relax. I hear the voice of the instrument, and it brings me comfort. Just as people have different personalities, so do guitars different tones and characteristics that cause me to play them differently.
