What separates White from the crowded pack of smooth-jazz guitarists is his exquisite sense of melody. That skill is on full display on Confidential, easily the most well-rounded album of White's career. Among the highpoints here is the return of vocalist Christopher Cross, who shines on a cover of Brenda Russell's light bossa nova tune, "She's in Love." Other guests include pianist Brian Culbertson, who offers a Bob James-like solo on the title track, trumpeter Chris Botti ("Stormfront"), and saxophonist Mindi Abair, who graces "Are You Mine." But it's White's lines that soar throughout, like melodies in search of words. --Mark Ruffin

Customer Reviews

Confidentially, This Is A Hit!
This is Peter White's best effort since Perfect Moment was released in 1998. In tracks such as Talkin' Bout Love, How Does It Feel, and Confidential, he gives us the familiar and beautiful Peter White touch. His playing is up front and in the lead, with the rest of the music surrounding his melodies, complementing and contrasting them.

In other tunes such as, Are You Mine, Lost Without Your Love and Endless Journey, he is content to let other artists have the spotlight. Of special note are Mindi Abair, Brian Culbertson, Michael Paulo and David Sparkman. Chris Botti's playing on Stormfront is the perfect compliment to Peter's gentle, understated rhythm.

This is a mature and beautiful collection of music and is highly recommended. Bravo, Peter White!

"truly one of the best guitarist around today ~ Peter White"
Sony Records presents a new jazz release "Confidential", featuring one of my favorite jazz artist, Peter White ~ listen as White creates that special mood for all music and jazz lovers ~ special guests include Mindi Abair (soprano sax), Chris Botti (trumpet), Paul Brown (guitar/electric), Brian Culbertson (keyboard), and Christopher Cross (vocals), captures the listeners attention from all selections composed by White (which is all but one of the eleven tracks).

Stand outs are ~ "COAST ROAD DRIVE", "TALKIN' BOUT YOU", "LOST WITHOUT YOU LOVE" and "CONFIDENTIAL", performed just the way you like em', soulfully timeless performances with a blend of a haunting phrase or two or three...gotta love it!

Total Time: 53:32 on 11 Tracks ~ Sony 89090 ~ (3/23/2004)

NOT ELEVATOR MUSIC!
After listening to this CD a couple times, I will be keeping it on my iPod playlist for some time. It will come in quite handy when I want to drown out the voices of people with "single phase" minds! Yes, it is supposed to be relaxing! Comparing this to Muzak is nothing short of ignorant! On a better note, I would tend to agree that Peter White is creative when it comes to mixing up his sound with other artists. Yet another reason to really appreciate the jazz community. If you are a Peter White fan, you will not be let down.
