(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't believe no one reviewed this cd! Jan is one of the best guitarists in the world. He plays jazz/rock/classical and even blues and folk, all in a virtuosic yet highly feeling manner. Few are in his league in any of them! This is an all acoustic cd of songs he sometimes features at his live shows. The highlight for me is "Wildflower", his take on a beautiful Bach piece. In other songs, melody is always paramount, and his soul always shines through. This is an essential release for any guitar lover. You also need "Focus in Time" and if you haven't heard his albums with Focus, you are really missing out on some timeless beautiful music!"
