Have you met Jeff Bjorck?  If you haven’t, relax a minute and take the time to get to know him and his music.  You will be glad you did.  I know the piano playing of Jeff Bjorck will be something you will make part of your musical experience.

There are hidden places all over the Internet where music is stashed, just waiting for us to discover it.  It is like walking into what you think will be an empty room and finding what you might consider a slice of heaven.  So much of the Internet is noise and confusion; to find those places of beauty and calm is more than just a little special.

I found one today.  It was on a convulted path but it led me to a place called SoloPianoRadio.  This is a source the true music lover can not pass up.  If you looked at Live365, which is the player for SoloPianoRadio a few years ago and dismissed it, go back; it is not the site is used to be - this is a true find.

Anyway, today I was listening and discovered an artist I was not familiar with.  His name is Jeff Bjorck and he is a perfect example of what “Classy Classical,” is all about.  Remember, the neoclassical or new age music of today is the classical music of tomorrow.

Somehow Jeff transcends the genre of neoclassical or new age.  His music represents that place where skill and “the gift” combine, yet part company simultaneously.  All of the practicing in the world cannot give the gift - and Jeff shows it with each piece of music he plays.

I often wonder, as I listen to, and then review music, what motivates the musician to create a certain piece of music.  I read a little bit about Jeff Bjorck and there is a lot to this man.  He is a clinical psychologist, researcher and professor at Fuller Seminary’s Graduate School of Psychology.  He is also a deeply spiritual man.  Both of these facets of his life are reflected in his music - not just in the writing of it but in his performance. 

I can close my eyes and see a world in Jeff’s music that I don’t often have the privilege of visiting.  It is a world where you can see the souls of each one of us dancing in harmony, amongst light and love; it is a world where anything good and gentle is possible; it is a world of dreams that have come true.

Of his own creativity, Jeff says, “My creativity merely imitates the Creator.” How lucky we are that he shares that world with us.  In a life that must be busier than can be imagined, Jeff Bjorck has found a place to slow down and he allows us to join him.
