On Love & Paragraphs, guitarist Chris Standring puts aside his trusty longtime jazz axe, the archtop Benedetto, and digs into more earthy blues-rock territory on five tracks with two Fender Strats; he played the Strat back in the 80s until switching to the other guitar to better tackle the acid jazz grooves which caught his ear in the early 90s. Top tunes include first single, "Love & Paragraphs," "CS In The Sunshine," "Liquid Soul," "Qwertyuiop"and "As Luck Woul Have It". An inspired innovator in both smooth and chill jazz Standring's newest CD will attract jazz lovers and beyond with it's fan-friendly grooves.

Customer Rating: Summary: Christ Standring Comment: The is an incredible piece of music. Standring was new to me. The music is hauntingly beautiful. Masterful work. Customer Rating: Summary: A Word About Love & Paragraphs Comment: You are asking Dennis for a review, but I'm Joyce, Dennis' wife, and I'm the one who ordered this CD. A large part of the day, Dennis listens to a lovely Seattle jazz channel. I work at home and it makes a nice background to typing all day. But a particular piece stood out from the rest. I stopped typing every time it played, and I wanted to hear it over and over--we loved it. So, I tracked down the name and performer, and it was Love & Paragraphs by Chris Standring. Thanks for making it so easily available. Good price. Good delivery time. We're happy!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great jazz guitar cd Comment: I have several jazz guitarist and I had never heard of Chris Standring until hearing him on the radio. Checked him out on "All Music Guide", listened to some cuts and then bought this and the even better "Soul Express". I if you like Norman Brown then buy this CD. He will not disappoint you.

I am looking forward to the next offering from this British artist. Customer Rating: Summary: Love & Paragraphs WOW!!! Comment: This is one of the best CDs I have purchased in a while. I've recommended this to a fellow smooth jazz listener and would recommend this to anyone that wants a nice upbeat guitar sound. The CD also has some soft and slow tunes that are very nice. I am going to be purchasing a few more of Chris Standring's Love and Paragraphs as gifts to friends.
