Synopsis

Amazon.com
Craig Chaquico continues his conversion from eclectic pop guitarist to smooth jazz disciple on this, his fifth solo project and his first recording since From the Redwoods to the Rockies, a 1998 collaboration with contemporary jazz icon Russ Freeman. Here the nimble fretwork and fresh, free-spirited qualities of his early solo works are largely submerged in a sax-heavy ensemble in which Chaquico plays a supplementary role. At times, such as during the languid "Haight Ashbury," you may think you're listening to Earl Klugh, not the former guitarist for Jefferson Starship. With low-key, groove-minded production from Freeman, Rick Braun, Paul Brown (Boney James), and William Aura (3rd Force), smooth jazz fans likely will find many relaxing moments here. It should be noted that the album's title track is actually a smooth-jazz reworking of a top-down, open-road Chaquico classic, "Acoustic Traveler," from A Thousand Pictures. The album's highlight: "Arizona Daybreak," where Chaquico allows himself to stretch out and let his six strings sing. --Terry Wood

CD Reviews

He doesn't get older...He gets even BETTER
Charlie Lipsett | Odessa, Texas | 02/11/2000

"For those who enjoy music of the NEW AGE genre,Craig's FOUR CORNERS CD is something to appreciate. After a long day at the office, or even the stress from a regular 9 to 5'er, this is definately something to come home to and prop up those weary legs and just relax in the music. I found Craig's music by accident when I purchased a CD with various artists that contained one of his compositions and couldn't get enough. Since that time, I've purchased almost anything and everything he has been a part of. The soothing sounds of not only his guitar, but also of the beat is something to be cherished."
I love it!!

"Sorry folks, but I love jazz so I love this CD. Turquoise Moon is my favorite, but the whole album is great to me. I also have "From the Redwood to the Rockies" which is also a treat. I will say, I was never a big fan of guitar music until I listened to Craig. I will invest in his previous albums to have a better understanding from the other perspectives."
A wonderful experience!

"I brought my wife to Houston to see the Rippingtons and were we ever surprised at how great Chaquico was. We had never even heard of him until he came on stage and played. Most of his songs were from the Four Corners CD. To tell the truth, I couldn't stop moving to the music."
