Kevin Kern In My Life CD
Kevin Kern Discography of CDs
This extremely melodic new age pianist makes no bones about his intentions. Based on song titles like "Love's First Smile," "To Sleep on Angel's Wings," and "Twirling in Time," it's clear that his lyrical, rhythmic piano pieces are intended to provide a sense of reflection, mellow joy, peace, and hope in a chaotic world. While he's a fine melodist who knows how to intricately weave melody and harmony (as on ensemble gems like "Dance of the Searching Souls"), what's most interesting is the way he bookends his nine original cuts. He names the album after the ultimate reflection song, the Beatles' "In My Life," and does a fairly pedestrian but quite graceful reading of that. Much more creative, though, is his choice of an opener, the obscure but simply beautiful Elton John classic (from 1975's Captain Fantastic), "We All Fall in Love Sometimes." John's piano-based ballads have long cried out for new age or contemporary jazz interpretations, and it's wonderful to see Kern introduce the romance of his collection this way, and with such an non-obvious choice. With Kern, the message is pretty simple -- beautiful, spiritual melodies that relax and inspire. Not overly challenging but absolutely beautiful. ~ Jonathan Widran

多謝老鄉美言。我看你的這個專輯也做得很漂亮的。
這年頭，忙是好事啊。下崗的人太多了，要上崗還挺不容易的。不過忙了可要注意勞逸結合。
我也很喜歡的音樂。覺得他的音樂都很細膩，經過精工細雕的。
謝謝你的新年祝福。
也祝你新年快樂，工作順利，身體健康，事事如意。
