| | In October 2008, David Benoit took a much needed breather from | |
| | the frenetic pace of life in Los Angeles and headed up to the | |
| | mountains near Saratoga to become an artist in residence at Villa | |
| | Montalvo. Finding peaceful solitude and discovering fresh | |
| | inspiration in a small cabin near the non-profit Montalvo Arts | |
| | Center, the five time GRAMMY« nominated veteran composer and | |
| | pianist--one of contemporary jazz's most acclaimed artists for | |
| | over two decades--wrote "Botswana Bossa Nova" and "Will's Chill," | |
| | two unique pieces unlike any he had done before. These became the | |
| | foundation for the overall global music concept behind Benoit's | |
| | stirring and provocative new CD Earthglow, his first set of | |
| | original material in four years. | |
| | The title track was inspired by the stunning NASA photo of our | |
| | planet which graces the cover. In an age where many listeners | |
| | prefer the instant gratification of purchasing individual tracks, | |
| | Benoit takes the bold step of writing good old fashioned liner | |
| | notes to explain the way the eclectic 11-track collection | |
| | developed. While many instrumental artists slap easy, throwaway | |
| | titles on their projects, with Earthglow, Benoit put a lot of | |
| | effort into finding the perfect title that would convey his | |
| | musical and cultural intentions: "The task of finding a title to | |
| | best represent the music contained herein was challenging at | |
| | best. I started with `Frozen Music,' a term to describe | |
| | architecture, but with the exception of a few of my notable | |
| | architect friends, nobody really got it. Then `New Creation' was | |
| | suggested but as we began to discuss artwork and concept, the | |
| | title seemed uninspired and lacking a theme. I went back and | |
| | reviewed all the song titles and 'Earthglow' jumped out at me. I | |
| | believe it was the best word to illustrate the spirit of the | |
| | project." | |
| | | |
| | For David Benoit fans old and new, basking in the Earthglow is | |
| | bound to be a transcendent experience as well as an invitation to | |
| | explore exciting new frontiers in jazz. | |
