1998. Art Johnson, Frederic Alarie - Contact [320] Review

: Reviewers from SoundStage! describe the music as "smooth" and "easy-on-the-ears," though they note the performance can occasionally feel almost too relaxed.

The album is a minimalist duo project, consisting entirely of Johnson on guitar and Alarie on bass. The performances are characterized by an easygoing, lyrical style that blends standard jazz repertoire with intimate interplay. 1998. Art Johnson, Frederic Alarie - Contact [320]

is highly regarded in the audiophile community for its exceptional sonic production. : Reviewers from SoundStage

: The audio imaging is noted for its "spot-on" specificity, with the guitar placed firmly to the left and the bass on the right, creating the illusion of the musicians performing in the room with the listener. 1998. Art Johnson, Frederic Alarie - Contact [320]
