âJourney Into Paradiseâ is the aptly chosen title for the fifth CD of jazz/slack-key guitarist, Patrick Ki. With its instrumental collection of modern popular songs and classic standards, âJourney Into Paradiseâ features the smoothly orchestrated and restful sound that has become associated with all of Patrickâs albums.

As the third installment in his highly acclaimed trio of best selling recordings, âJourneyâ very much follows in the musical footsteps of its two predecessors, âHeart Music and Artâ and âPath of Romanceâ.

With themes from classical masterpieces, celebrated standards, and the inclusion of more current hits, this disc once again exemplifies the attractive versatility that characterizes Patrickâs work.

In particular, Patrickâs exquisite version of âPachelbelâs Canonâ seems to represent the style and philosophy that infuses this CD. Like most of his music, the âCanonâ is soothing and relaxing, but Patrick also brings a fresh perspective to this piece by performing it on the classical guitar, in contrast to the more commonly heard piano or orchestral arrangements.

Utilizing cutting edge digital recording technology, four different guitar parts have been multi-layered to faithfully reproduce the original score of âPachelbelâs Canonâ and supplemental instrumental harmonies have been added that result in an accurate yet very unique rendering of this timeless classical theme. The calming yet beautifully uplifting quality of this composition has made it one of the most requested songs in Patrickâs repertoire.

With stylish versions of popular favorites like âWhat A Wonderful Worldâ, âI Say A Little Prayerâ and âMy Heart Will Go Onâ included as part of this appealing mixture, âJourney Into Paradiseâ is an album that absolutely lives up to its name!
