So FA so Good

"One of Nashville's most creative composers, John Jarvis itched to get out of the country backup session mode: in the mid eighties the MCA master series gave him his chance. Wonder what he thought of being tagged a "new age" artist!!! So Fa So Good is a rather short outing, but every song is a home run. As a whole its as good as Something Constructive, the album tha gave him national exposure.You can hear John's American Country keel as he sails through these numbers. The instrumentation is simple, the musicianship is outstanding, the chord progressions and musical structure are varied, sometimes wondrously surprising, and the melodies burrow into the mind. Great piano playing--electric and acoustic. Why Amazon has no samples or cover art for Jarvis' 80s albums is a mystery to me."
