about

Above & Beyond is the first solo ambient electronic CD by Glass bassist / guitarist / keyboardist Jeff Sherman. It is the result of several years of accumulating material that was beyond the scope of what Jeff brought to the Glass body of work. Jeff’s starting point was somewhere between John Cage and Brian Eno with a healthy dose of some of the more notable Berlin School of Electronic Music masters like Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching. Sherman starts from the premise that all sound is music, and extends outward from there. He calls his music “Progressive Ambient.”

"Do yourself a favor and listen to them in the dark with your favorite stereo headphones. If you find yourself being transported elsewhere, I have fulfilled a deeper purpose."
- j.s. 6/22/2002

There are aspects to Austasia Pt 1, especially at the beginning, that are absolutely beautiful. Hauntingly beautiful, in fact...This is a lovely, lovely album through and through. If symphonic, electronic music is your thing, then you should make Jeff Sherman's Above & Beyond your thing.

Jeff Sherman shows off here that he is an amazing composer as well as a multi-instrumentalist, building music from scratch rather than totally relying on computers that are readily available for "one-man-bands."

From symphonic, to lushly ambient, to minimalist composition, to complex sound collage, Above & Beyond takes the listening on a far-reaching journey.

Glass’s Jeff Sherman offers us a great instrumental album. Opposite Glass’ Progressive Rock, Jeff’s new album fits more into the New Age genre. It’s quite based on keyboards. From the very beautiful and thoughtful Miles, Monk and Mom to the more ambitious Autasia, Jeff has conducted a successful experiment which will take the listener to a higher level of being. Contrary to most New Age recordings, this is an album you shouldn’t put on as background music, because it will quickly overcome you and become the focal point of your consciousness and unconsciousness.

"His music comes to him from The Stream. When he sits down to play, he casts his line. Sometimes he has no preconcieved idea as to what he might find. He only knows the ideas will come to him－from somewhere.

As he composes, what he feels is The River of Life as it washes over him." ... more
