Album DescriptionThe photography on the cover of "I Hope" captures the theme of Paul Chasman's music. He has said that this cd is his "candle in the darkness." His solo guitar rendition of "I Hope" is followed by ten trio pieces written for two guitars and cello, culminating with a trio version of "I Hope." The trio features Paul Chasman and Doug Smith on guitars, and Hamilton Cheifetz on cello. The music takes the listener on a journey through a vast spectrum of emotions, and ranges from breathtaking beauty to extraordinary power. The music is compelling and the instrumental interplay is on the high wire. This is Paul Chasman's affirmation of life, spirit, and hope.
