COLDWATER is an exceptionally good
listening experience, one that will enchant
jazz audiences with its straight-ahead
approach within a framework of solid
contemporary jazz performances. The
compositions are refreshingly honest and
straight forward in their directness, filled with
good harmony and melody.

These performances are flawless in their
solo and group sets, and each musician is
excellent. Wayne Peet on B3 organ gives
outstanding performances as does Robert
Jacobson on guitar, Clark Sommers on
double bass, and Bryon Vannoy on drums.
Jeff Eliassen is perfect on trumpet for these
songs.

The songs include "Placerita Canyon,"
"Dusk," "Between B and G," "Banana Bread,"
among others. Each song reveals the talents
of guitarist Robert Jacobson as a
contemporary jazz composer.

This CD would make a nice gift for a friend
or anybody who is interested in how a gifted
composer/guitarist creates fine jazz music.
COLDWATER is a nice listening experience,
full of energy, original, soul, solid jazz
foundations, and good old-fashioned
listening enjoyment. Highly recommended.
