IN A SILENT PLACE by Eric Roberts

In a Silent Place

    Eric Roberts' solo debut is 13 instrumental tracks of pure escape music.
Warm, reflective solo and ensemble passages are blended with subtle jazz
elements for music that gently flows like a cool Colorado stream.  Joining
Roberts on several selections are avant-garde cellist David Darling
(formerly of the Grammy-winning Paul Winter Consort and a recording artist
on the ECM, Hearts of Space and Relaxation labels), Robert Weinstein on
guitar and Ed Contreras on percussion.

     The music ranges from lyrical and melodic instrumentals to spontaneous
collaborative and solo improvisations. There are minimalistic tone poems,
moody soundscapes, lighthearted and breezy romps, and thought-provoking
aural explorations...enough diversity to please even the most discerning
guitar fan; but, amazingly, the entire CD hangs together well, with one
piece smoothly flowing to the next, from first note to last.
