Music reviews of Perfect Sky
Music Review: York Approaches Perfection
Rating: 5 Stars
Andrew York's "Perfect Sky" has the entire package for anyone with an appreciation for excellence in composition, arrangement, and stunning execution on the guitar. The opening track, "Sunburst", which has been recorded by both Christopher Parkening (under the title "Jubilation") and John Williams, showcases York's talent both as a gifted composer and as a master of navigating the fretboard, as especially evidenced by the "burst" of notes that conclude the song. Vince Guaraldi's "Linus & Lucy" is covered here, and is another highlight. On this tune, York simultaneously -- and seemingly effortlessly -- carries both the bass line and melody to produce a version that surpasses the original in quality. And once again, York finishes beautifully, this time with an array of harmonics reminiscent of Weather Report bass player Jaco Pastorius (1951-1987), whose own "Word of Mouth" album (Warner Brothers, 1981) York has praised. Other highlights of "Perfect Sky" include "Green Galliard", "Rock Skippin' Creekside", "Mysterious Barricades", and "Muir Woods". The CD represents, for the most part, York's emerging potential as a classical guitarist and composer in the period immediately following the completion of his studies at the University of Southern California in 1986. Perhaps the only weakness of the CD is that while York proves his versatility on steel string, nylon string, and electric guitar on this album, the electric guitar recordings do not match the acoustic guitar tracks in quality. But this is really just a further testament to York's extreme ability to combine playing and composing for the acoustic guitar at a level that may not be matched currently or in the near future. Note: the 1996 re-release of "Perfect Sky" includes "Andecy", a track from the Windham Hill Guitar Sampler.
