- Across the Bridge “The debut album by acoustic guitarist Peter Janson remains one of his most engaging and relaxing. This completely instrumental music is tranquil and meditative, yet manages to contain some challenging complexities. This is largely due to Janson's technical prowess and great sensitivity as a player.” “Janson flavors his folk-influenced sound with world-music accents, forging a style that is eclectic and fresh, yet his inventions are never forced or jarring. His meticulously considered cover of Pat Metheny's "Message to a Friend" is especially impressive and enjoyable. With its musical sophistication and relaxing, ambient atmospheres, ACROSS THE BRIDGE is sure to please devotees of acoustic instrumental and New Age music.” ~ All Music dot com
