"Jamie Bonk's eponymous
first release enjoyed considerable critical and commercial
success, residing in the Top 10 of New Age Voice charts for months.
A Perfect
Tomorrow, Bonk's sophomore effort, cements his reputation
as a lyrical composer
of contemporary instrumental music. An acoustic guitar wizard, Bonk
easily holds
his own with stalwarts such as Craig Chaquico and Jesse Cook. Weaving
Latin,
Jazz, Pop, and
R&B elements into his own style, he touches listeners' hearts
without
uttering a word.
Bonk deftly handles all guitars and some of the keyboard work on
the album. Jack
Vorvis plays drums and percussion, and Sonya Mitlewski contributes
keyboards.
"These Hands" features a quiet acoustic guitar intro that builds
into a mid-tempo gem.
"Too Deep for Tears" offers shimmering, layered guitars and ambient
keyboards in a
song that epitomizes the triumph of the heart over sorrow. A
Perfect Tomorrow is
one of the loveliest contemporary instrumental albums of 2001 and
deserves a prominent
place on your shelves." - Steve Ryals - New
Age Retailer - July/August 2001.
