Free Music Notes for The Grace of Summer Light
Free Music Review: Smooth Jazz meets Pat Metheny
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent album and the best way to describe it is "Smooth Jazz meets Pat Metheny." To me, this doesn't quite fit into the smooth jazz genre because it goes beyond that. Navarro stretches out on this CD and there is a Metheny-ish sound to this music. I don't think my description does justice but listen to the samples. This is excellent music and Navarro's best CD.Free Music Review: Enchanting
Hit: 5 Stars
Ken Navarro has managed to capture light in music, no mean feat! This is not traditional jazz, so take note. That said, this music has a timelessness, in my opinion, that will make this CD one of your "keepers".Free Music Review: This CD is better then any previous one!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is awesome. Very good recording (I cannot say this about The Meeting Place - fantastic music, but poor recording), amazing tracks. It's one of my best CD's. I love it i strongly recommend it to everyone.Free Music Review: Inventive and inspirational.

Ken Navarro has outdone himself (and that's saying plenty) on "The Grace of Summer Light" his best album for some while.
Ken's is a smooth Jazz acoustic guitarist of consummate skill and poise.
Tracks like "Blue Skies Bright Dreams" and the gentle "Perfect Circle Sun" illustrate this acumen wonderfully.
Like most of Navarro's albums, "The Grace Of Summer Light" is primarily instrumental and focus for his guitar.
"Daddy-O" is a nice shuffling Latin tinged (with the persussion) groove with a nice melody and Ken on top form.
"Nomad" and "Looking Everywhere For You" are equally strong smooth grooves, whilst he switches to electric guitar on the Larry Carlton tinged "We Might As Well Dance".
As always, his guitar playing is incredible, powerful, nuanced.
His production skills grow sharper with every CD. As a writer he can stand with anyone out there.
This is a very special CD, with stunning compositions and ground breaking performances from Ken Navarro himself, Joel Rosenblatt (Spyro Gyra) on drums, Tom Kennedy on acoustic and electric bass (Michael Brecker, Al DiMeola) and Jay Rowe (Special EFX, Marion Meadows) on keyboards.
I highly recommend this CD.
This is a fine piece of Smooth Jazz which will please his fans and those of the genre.
I would't even call it smooth jazz...it's so much more.

Free Music Review: smooth guitar
Hit: 4 Stars
Just heard him for the first time on a smooth jazz station-On Demand Cable TV-- Checked him out on amazon and found the new cd--I would have liked to hear more of him in the sound mix-- seemed a bit covered up by all the orchestration..but the heart came thru- quite sweet- cool listening on a warm summer evening by the ocean where i live.A few dinner guests inquired qho was playing-- so i feel goot about passing the word about a hip guitar..new to the repetoire..lets hear more.
amazon got here right away as usual why i dont mess with streaming and stealing .. call me old fashioned..i still like the musician in my home.Cheers and Bravo!
