CBA MARKETPLACE

With the likes of studio players such as Kirk Whalum, Abraham Laboriel, Alex Acuna, and Justo Almario along for the ride, guitarist Jay Leach's instrumental record has everything going for it. If customers can get beyond the less-than-great cover, they'll find a terrific light-jazz CD waiting inside.

Leach, who has played on plenty of Christian artists' projects, is a solid acoustic player in the mold of Earl Klugh. Arrangements include the horn-section enhanced "Holy, Holy, Holy (Hosanna)," the reflective "Emmaeus," and an innovative take on "Amazing Grace." Play this CD in your store--it will catch the interest of customers who like instrumental music with more innovation than the typical "simple arrangement" offerings.
