STYLE... Jazz, Blues, Swing

Michael William Gilbert's most recent releases on compact disc, "Light in the Clouds" and "Point of Views", bridge the gap between diverse world musics. "Point of Views" is a stunning solo recording realized within a MIDI based studio, weaving elements of jazz, world, electronic and new musics into "an ethereal and beautiful blend!" It successfully creates the sound of an ensemble of players yet is a purely solo work, with a collaboration by Tony Vacca on one track.

REVIEWS...

""Point of Views" received 4 stars in Downbeat Magazine..... "Michael Gilbert blends live acoustic instruments with electronic sounds, deftly weaving jazz, new age, and folk styles into his own musical language ...providing a wonderfully fresh sound. The production is equally fresh and open sounding, with a sonic transparency and airy spaciousness rarely achieved." - Audio.... "Gilbert weaves the elements of jazz, electronic, and new music together in an ethereal and beautiful blend. The music is light...it is wondrous! If you like jazz, if you like new music, or if you just appreciate beautiful sound, this is the kind of record you can enjoy over and over again!" - Option" --
