It was June 6, 2023, and my brother Mike and I attended a CSO concert at Symphony Center in Chicago. We enjoyed the 3 French impressionist pieces (Debussy's La Mer and Ravel's La Valse and Menuet Antique). These pieces were paired with Shostakovich's much darker / more manic First Violin Concerto.

It was June 6, 2023, and my brother Mike and I attended a CSO concert at Symphony Center in Chicago. We enjoyed the 3 French impressionist pieces (Debussy's La Mer and Ravel's La Valse and Menuet Antique). These pieces were paired with Shostakovich's much darker / more manic First Violin Concerto.

That night, the featured violin soloist, Vadim Gluzman (after performing the brilliant Shostakovich concerto) treated an appreciative audience with a short but stunning encore piece for solo violin called Serenade by Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov. It became immediately evident to us that Serenade would be a perfect piece for solo nylon string guitar.

After doing some research online, I found several performances of the piece but soon came to realize that Gluzman's arrangement was especially emotive and uniquely delicate, so I wound up using it exclusively as inspiration.

I went on to visualize the piece as a late-night dialogue in a small parlour-style setting. I played through my arrangement just a touch slower than Gluzman.

Quietly Enjoy.

Elixir for the soul; balm for the scrapes…salve for the wounds; aspirin for the pain…and…music for fatigued ears. Take two Jimmy Ryan listens and call me in the morning. Literally.

Elixir for the soul; balm for the scrapes…salve for the wounds; aspirin for the pain…and…music for fatigued ears. Take two Jimmy Ryan listens and call me in the morning. Literally.

We have produced Jimmy’s instrumental guitar pieces in two showcases; first, as studio work featuring long-time bandmate and percussionist Dan Van Schindel, and second, woven into nature itself and presented in a twenty-eight-minute suite worthy of any spa/healing experience anywhere, anytime. Our nature journey starts in a morning meadow and then spends the day surfside (what is more healing than watching children play on the beach?) and ends in the peaceful warmth of an outdoor cafe nestled in an open field where the quiet nighttime sounds are teeming with life. The suite features a bonus track “Continuum” which was lost in the studio but saved through the grace of an mp3 copy and then woven into the suite thanks to some studio magic.

Working with Jimmy and Dan has been a real treat during the production of this album, and special thanks to our mutual friend and music associate Robert Steven Silverstein of Rock Rose Music and mwe3.com for introductions and persistence.

Quietly Enjoy.

Well, here it is…Paul Christian’s second album!

Well, here it is…Paul Christian’s second album!

…you have your whole life to create the songs that will be featured on your debut release, and then only a year or so to write the new material for your follow-up.

The paradigm shift that occurs for the artist is exactly that…a shift from the unpressured artistic creation of the songs that make up your first album; sometimes poured over for several years of refinement and reflection…to now actually becoming a songwriter.

There is good news to report. Paul has come back to the table with a new notebook chock full of his very own heartfelt slice-of-life Americana/Folk/Country/Rock songs. His new works reveal a steady, authoritative hand on the steering wheel - consistent and confident in his songwriting prowess in a throw down of compelling storytelling, melodies and chorus hooks that are solid as a rock, instantly memorable and timeless.

Some new ground has also been broken as well…there’s a bit of a nod to ‘They Might be Giants’ in a song called “Bicycle Messenger”…and the hauntingly expansive undercurrent in a song called “The Boy” pushes the envelope even further than “Angel of Flies” from American Dream. In addition, there are two very personally introspective and intimate songs that are quite touching, first “The Best Day of my Life” and then “My Little One” – both of which will melt your heart…if you’ve ever found peace after the loss of a parent or have been lucky enough to raise a daughter, respectively.

Salvatori Productions is pleased to join you as fans of Paul Christian’s songwriting journey. We are happy to continue to represent his work and to offer you the opportunity to enjoy his extraordinary songwriting talent.

We are certain that you will be thrilled to weave his new album into the fabric of your life.

PAUL CHRISTIAN That's Everything (Salvatori Productions)

An established guitarist and composer known for his impeccable instrumental approach to neoclassical / avant-prog guitar music, Tom Salvatori is also the owner of his Salvatori Productions music label. Expanding on his label’s repertoire, Tom moves into the pop-rock market with the 2020 album release of That’s Everything, his second release by Chicago-based singer-songwriter Paul Christian. Back in the late 1960s, early ‘70s, the singer-songwriter sound was all the rage and in the spirit of country-rock legends like Buffalo Springfield and Poco, Paul Christian’s music defies genre. Mixing folk, rock and country to great effect, That’s Everything is a do-it-yourself album in the truest sense of the word. Speaking about Paul Christian, the album’s co-producer Tom Salvatori tells mwe3, “Besides being a great songwriter, Paul is a multi-instrumentalist… he performed on all instruments (guitars, bass, drums, keyboards) and as a result, we gave him co-producer credit as well. The only guest appearance on the album is Julie Chatman who performs the female vocal part on track 4 - "Memphis Tonight.” Through the wonders of modern-day studio music magic, Paul sounds like a one-man band and on several of the tracks, he even gets to show off his formidable electric lead guitar chops, case in point being track 9, “The Boy”. Most of these tracks have a deep in thought kind of singer-songwriter approach that ranges from influences such as early 1970s legacy artists Richie Furay and Harry Chapin to modern day vocalists like Marshall Crenshaw and Michael Stipe of R.E.M. Featuring memorable songs and first-rate musicianship, That’s Everything strikes a wonderful musical balance and in doing so creates an impressive collection of folk-meets-rock sounds.
