My Romance: An Evening With Jim Brickman (CD)

Straddling the line between pop and new age, Jim Brickman's mellow piano compositions evoke romance, hope, and quiet inspiration. Brickman first made his name in the mid-1990s as a Windham Hill artist--one of the few solo instrumentalists to have scored a Billboard hit--and branched out from there with some pop and country collaborations, Christmas recordings, and an album of classic Disney covers. By 2000 he had adopted the musical persona of the suave but menschy romantic that, coupled with his clean-cut good looks, earned him an adoring female audience. Brickman split with Windham Hill in 2005, but continues to own the Adult Contemporary charts.

Pianist/Composer Jim Brickman isn't content with the instrumental pop/new age label that's so often slapped onto the work of artists who make quietly pretty, radio-friendly, instrumental music. Brickman doesn't seem to want to be anybody's musical wallpaper, so this live album features several contributions from renowned guest vocalists and instrumentalists.

Australian songbird Olivia Newton-John contributes her still-dulcet tones to a pair of tunes, "Valentine" and "Change of Heart," while the indefatigable Donny Osmond turns up on the romantic ballad "Love of My Life." Smooth jazz musicians Dave Koz and David Benoit are on hand as well, to challenge (at least theoretically) Brickman's musical hegemony. The romantic theme that runs through all the tunes fits in well with Brickman's lush, emotive approach and gives MY ROMANCE its unity of feeling and tone.
