LIVE!

2008
Although I've notated this as light jazz, it's really much more than that.
Four extremely talented and well-known artists present a varied selection of original instrumental songs in a live concert. Energetic and moving, all the selections here are melodic and wonderful to listen to again and again.
Flute music by Nicholas Gunn; piano by Loren Gold, guitar by Johannes Linstead; and compositions by David Arkenstone.
Inter-weaved with the music are candid interviews with the artists in which they explain how they came to write the pieces they perform along with other band members.
What I really enjoyed about this album is that along with the CD, there also came with it a DVD of the concert which helped to make the music more real, more alive, more enjoyable. It's unfortunate that many more CDs don't come with videos.
