Jon Schmidt
draws the listener in with his very intimate style on this latest release
A Day In the Sunset
. Inspired by the relationships he has with some important people in his life, as well as the landscapes of his home state, Utah, there is a reflective quality in
Schmidt
's performance of his own melodic compositions like
"Longing,"
"Solace," and "Big Sky Sunset." Even the familiar
Kenny G
selection "Going Home" takes on a more contemplative aspect. He displays an intuitive sense throughout this album that is always sensitive but never overly sentimental; dramatic but always exuding warmth. ~ MusD
