Review

All Around Me, the debut recording from California-born pianist Loren Gold, yields a pleasant collection of soft instrumentals that break no new ground but make revisiting well-traveled territory an agreeable affair. Gold's reflective blend of melody and melancholy (perhaps best showcased on the affecting title track) will likely elicit comparisons to better-known pianists, from the opening "Cascade" (a first-rate, ensemble-based rumination that brings to mind Michael Gettel) to the searching hopefulness of "Jake's Dream" (in the style of George Winston) to the modest, sometimes strained classical pretensions of "A Song for Nancy" (see David Lanz). Percussion periodically surfaces, lending a hint of tension to "The Magic Mirror" and sultry momentum to the sax-based "Midnight Blue," yet it does little to disrupt the disc's overall contemplative nature. Flautist Nicholas Gunn, the disc's producer-arranger, performs on several tracks. --Terry Wood
