Michael Jones
 Michael's music in particular, and some of his composition titles have been an inspiration to a few of my favorite poems. After the Rain is one. If you have not heard this man's incredibly delicate and moving piano pieces I encourage you to get some right away. Amber would be a great CD with which to start. Michael has 12 original titles available on the Narada label. He is a composer, writer, and teacher. Check it out at his official site Pianoscapes.com

A good friend and talented guy who knows his way around a piano keyboard and a computer keyboard. 2 of my poems appear on his recent CD a dichotomy of silence. When finished Phil has also asked me to contribute to an ongoing project that he has entitled Heaven. |

On Michael Jone's music... "Michael's piano artistry carries the listener on a meditative lyrical journey that is as evocative as it is flawlessly performed. Each composition draws us into intimate encounters of waters washing on the shores of windswept islands, of rain gently falling through the leaves on an autumn night and of the sparkle of sunlight dancing on a quiet summer pond. He never overplays a composition yet whatever visual impression this renowned musical painter sets out to create the listener feels as if the music is playing them. Within each note the listener also hears a longing and with it an invitation to join with Michael in his journey - a sense that if we can for even a brief moment have a glimpse of the subtle wonders of the world that his music reveals, we will also be taking a valued step in coming home to ourselves." |
