CD Baby review (Editor's Pick):<br>
A stunning and surprising blending of jazz, classical, pop and new age, the music of Robert Elkjer also calls to mind a film soundtrack in the rich instrumentation, color and imagination. Right when you think you have narrowed down his style and can anticipate the next move, he catches you off guard with a genre twist, a textural shift or a compositional gesture that leaves you intently curious all over again. Though he draws from such influences such as Keith Jarret, George Winston and Art Lande, his style hovers mostly above jazz and yet, there are entire worlds inside the nuances he hints at and alludes to with his broadly fluent musical vocabulary that one can't be quite comfortable just calling this by one name. Bravo. - CD Baby
