Lawrenceville,
GA, August 16, 2004. Yes, it’s happening. People who’ve never
heard of Greg Clinton listen to their first sample track from Essays & Contemplations and
then go and buy it. There’s a charm happening here – at places like Border’s
Bookstore, Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, and SongCritic.com. And now, these
delicious instrumental jazz-rock tracks have become available at Apple’s iTunes music store! |
| Amazon.com actually just sold their last copy of Essays & Contemplations this
summer, after their retail arrangement with the CD was discontinued
by Greg (due to increased fees). However, CDBaby.com is
the largest independent CD retailer on the Web, each year selling millions of dollars in CDs by independent artists. CDBaby is
definitely Greg’s favorite online outlet for the full shrink-wrapped CD. The shopping cart from gregclinton.com uses
CDBaby’s service. And for downloads, there’s always iTunes! (Not to mention Rhapsody and others!) |

“The
music here is a blend of soft jazz and the sort of soundscapes that
were
found in the progressive rock of another decade. … Pat Metheny is an influence
on Clinton's guitar playing.”
"’City
Nights’ is a moody guitar piece showcasing Clinton's fretwork. Very tasty.”
“Again Clinton's guitar is the standout instrument, perfectly representing the contrasting moods; first thoughtful and sad, then lifting the spirit in hopefulness.”
