Guitarist
Peter White follows up his 2001 release
Glow with more solid melodic smooth jazz on
Confidential. Once again there is an amiable mix of quiet storm-ready ballads, up-tempo Latin numbers, and groove-oriented soundscapes. Joining
White are such instrumental pop luminaries as trumpeter
Chris Botti, keyboardist
Brian Culbertson, and percussionist
Paulinho Da Costa. While there are no particular surprises here, fans of
White's incomparable guitar playing should find much to enjoy on this laid-back disc. ~ Matt Collar
