A Perfect Tomorrow

About the Artist
Jamie Bonk's "A Perfect Tomorrow" shows many of the diverse elements of his musical past. This CD is at its heart melodic with a strong sense of rhythm and deep textural complexity. This is Jamie's new path.

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, guitarist/composer Jamie Bonk is set to release his second CD, "A Perfect Tomorrow". This album carries on from Jamie's self-titled debut CD, which was New Age Voice (NAV) Magazine's Radio Album of the Year for 1999. While both of Jamie's releases are self-composed, produced and engineered in his project studio, "A Perfect Tomorrow"adds two new musicians into the mix. Drummer/percussionist Jack Vorvis and keyboardist Sonya Mitlewski have joined Jamie on this latest CD.

Stylistically, Jamie draws on a wide range of influences. As he says, "This is instrumental music that moves between and around a wide variety of textures and moods." Using his nylon string acoustic guitar, Jamie's love of evocative melodies is clear from the first notes of "Tofino" to the final phrases of "Within". The influence of World music can be heard in the simmering rhythms and percussive embellishments throughout "A Perfect Tomorrow". "I wanted the listener to feel the beats as if they couldn't be separated from the melodies and the textures," Jamie says.

Jamie's self-titled debut CD, which was released in 1997 in Canada and in early 1998 in the U.S., received considered airplay. In addition to being NAV's Radio Album of the Year for 1999, "Jamie Bonk" was NAV's Airwaves Top 100 longest charting CD. The CD stayed on the charts for 18 consecutive months, 7 months longer than the previous longest charting CD, Loreena McKennitt's "The Book of Secrets". "Jamie Bonk" was also the longest charting CD in the top ten (8 months) and the longest charting CD in the top twenty (14 months). To date, Jamie's debut has been played on over 500 radio stations worldwide.

"Jamie Bonk" was also played on many in-flight audio programs. Airlines which have programmed Jamie's music have included Asiana, TWA, US Airways, American, America West and Canadian. Also, the entire CD was used as boarding music for Air Canada during May, June, September and October of 1998. Furthermore, Jamie's music has been programmed by AEI Music, DMX USA, DMX Canada, Music Choice, Music Choice Europe, DX Radio Network, Galaxie/ExpressVu and Echo Star.

Jamie is currently rehearsing for live performances and working on a number of new recording projects.

Customer Reviews:

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

The CD has about 30 tracks of the artist playing classical music and creating hip hop beats. The tracks aren't nearly long enough, but the sounds and beats that are created are tight.

Soothing and Relaxing.......2004-01-30

I had heard "Tofino", "Drift Away" and "Majestic" and liked them, so I purchased the cd. All the songs feature a soft and relaxing guitar together with drums and keyboards. The basic tone througout all the songs is somewhat similar to that of Govi. As far as relaxation goes, I found that a number of major airlines use songs from this cd to help relax the passengers.

A perfect anti-stress remedy!.......2000-12-13

Jamie Bonk's outstanding versatility is the hallmark of this superb album. Jamie walks from the lighter chords (e.g. on "Honour") to the hottest Arabic lines (e.g. on "Haze") with a stunning serenity, as if it was a simple and easy manoeuvre, as if he could drive this car with just one hand, and sometimes he plucks his strings as if he had 23-finger hands! The album also features Sonya Mitlewski on keyboards and Jack Varvis on drums & percussion. Their performances are really very impressive! "I'm really, really lucky to have them on the album" Jamie says - and he's quite right! Unfortunately the "star scale" goes up to only five stars, because "A Perfetc Tomorrow" rates at least ten! Words are poor enough to describe such work of art. When you listen to this album, your feelings will certainly tell you too much more than any word!
