"ALL THIS-ALL THAT-MOVED BY AN UNCONSCIOUS SENTIMENT BORN OF SOLITUDE AND SAVAGERY-IDLE TALES OF A NAUGHTY CHILD WHO SOMETIMES REFLECTS AND WHO IS ALWAYS A LOVER OF THE BEAUTIFUL-THE BEAUTY THAT IS PERSONAL-THE ONLY BEAUTY THAT IS HUMAN" ... Paul Gauguin
His dedication to Monsieur Fontainas in "Gauguin's Personal Journals" originally published in 1921 by Boni and Liveright, Inc.

Jeff Sherman’s role in the resurgence of Northwest band Glass has been nothing short of surprising. First by bringing the band back together from obscurity (the trio has now released several archive releases and one new acclaimed band effort) and second by releasing three completely different solo ambient projects in as many years (Above & Beyond in 2002 and Home in 2003). Overall the project will have great appeal to the space music collective and much of the Eurock contingent of fans.

Jeff's other music.
"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
