Peter Janson & Friends: Beautiful Day

Peter Janson & Friends - Beautiful Day, the gorgeous album from Peter Janson, features all instrumental music rising from a fusion of diverse roots and influences - folk, jazz, world music, classical, and Celtic - as well as quintessential guitarist influences as diverse as Martin Simpson, Ralph Towner, Pat Metheny, Leo Kottke, Pierre Bensusan, Ed Gerhard, Tuck Andress, and David Leisner woven into a hauntingly beautiful original sound.

Winner of the 2006 NAR Lifestyle Music Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album it has received stellar reviews and was in the top 25 on the NAR National Top 100 Radio charts for five consecutive months, reaching as high as #3 in September 2006. NARs Bill Binkelman says, "Beautiful Day is a stunning album, to say the least. ...easily one of the best releases of recent years." RJ Lannan says, "...brilliant album that will add just the right musical ambience for just about any positive occasion. The music is that good." And Alan Fark for The Minor 7th says, "Beautiful Day is beautifully captivating in a way that a state of nirvana must willingly claim an ascetic practitioner."

Peter Janson, primarily a solo guitarist, created Beautiful Day, the first in a series of Peter Janson & Friends albums, as an artistic rendition of his belief that if we are to achieve true peace and joy in the world we must all learn to caringly and creatively work together. In addition to the captivating instrumentation, the vocalists only sing vowels and a few consonants, as a gesture of the recognition of the universal connections we all have in our most important form of communication, verbal speech, and as a symbol of the hope that once united we can indeed have a future of beautiful days.

For this album, his fourth domestic release on EWM Records, the guitarist chose to record with a variety of world-class musicians from a variety of musical genres Jamie Bonk (Smooth Jazz Canada Guitarist of the Year nominee); Steve Hunt (keyboardist with Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Clarke, Alan Holdsworth); John Lockwood (bassist with Pat Metheny, Dizzy Gillespie, Boston Pops); Raymond Gonzalez (performed with John Renbourn, Peter Lang, Ellis Paul); Bertram Lehmann (performed with Joe Zawinul, Rebecca Paris, Natraj); Chris Lopes (bassist with Nina Ott, Jeff Parker); Henrik Bridger (bassist with Makoto Takenaka); Julie Woods (performed with Roberta Flack, Livingston Taylor, Jeffrey Osborne).
