Jeff Pearce
'Vestiges'

(Jeff Pearce Music jpm71703) 1998

I have been looking forward to hearing this new release from one of the greatest proponents of "ambient guitar" for some time. The guitar in Jeff's hands magically transforms into seamless aural textures, totally unrecognizable as guitar sounds, but nevertheless familiar and inviting.

Jeff's music with its sustained timbres leads me into a different world. It's no music for easy listening fans. But listeners who are able to dive into slow, silent and smooth atmospheres will thoroughly enjoy Vestiges. Virtuosity and emotional intensity characterize the music of Jeff Pearce. He uses treated guitars to tell a kaleidoscope of stories always demonstrating a depth of human sensitivity. Jeff's style of playing will allow many, not only guitarists and guitar entusiasts-a new perception of the guitar. Highly recommended.
