Description
Songs Without Words is a collection of instrumental compositions by pianist Chris Welch.
The CD features piano solos and duets with Rob Davis (soprano saxophone), Michael Gotz (guitar) and Evan Buehler (vibraphone).
"...shimmering romantic melodies. Welch has a magnificent touch, lyrical, open and light."
- Chris Lunn, Victory Review
"Whether effevescent and bubbly ("Jiggity Gigue" and "Maddie's Dream"), somber and reflective ("Late Autumn" and "Painting at the Train Station"), or softly romantic ("Floating on the Sea" and "Summer Solstice") Chris and the other musicians handle each song with grace and charm. Recommended for fans of melodic piano-led music."
- Bill Binkelman, Editor, Wind and Wire: The Magazine of New Instrumental Music
