Christ Standring
The is an incredible piece of music. Standring was new to me. The music is hauntingly beautiful. Masterful work.

A Word About Love & Paragraphs
You are asking Dennis for a review, but I'm Joyce, Dennis' wife, and I'm the one who ordered this CD. A large part of the day, Dennis listens to a lovely Seattle jazz channel. I work at home and it makes a nice background to typing all day. But a particular piece stood out from the rest. I stopped typing every time it played, and I wanted to hear it over and over--we loved it. So, I tracked down the name and performer, and it was Love & Paragraphs by Chris Standring. Thanks for making it so easily available. Good price. Good delivery time. We're happy!!!

Great jazz guitar cd
I have several jazz guitarist and I had never heard of Chris Standring until hearing him on the radio. Checked him out on "All Music Guide", listened to some cuts and then bought this and the even better "Soul Express". I if you like Norman Brown then buy this CD. He will not disappoint you.
