I had the thrill as a teenager to meet and hear Calvin perform in our chapel meetings for Summit Ministries, Colorado, in 1989. I was stunned that anyone's hands could move fast enough to perform "White Water Chopsticks"! 30 years later I now own the sheet music and hope to get even half as polished as his performance. I JUST (11/9/2020) discovered this website and Calvin's continued musical achievements. I am putting the "Through High Places" CD on my Christmas wish list to FINALLY replace the 30-year-old cassette I still have and still play at at times (including last week which inspired me to see if Calvin was still "around").

Calvin's 10-piece tribute to God's creation continues to be beautiful listening for me. In addition to "Chopsticks", my favorites include "Londonderry Falls" and "Snowmelt" - I have a natural affinity for more lively pieces. But even his slower, more graceful music makes for a spiritually uplifting hour on a grey day.

I received this originally as an audio tape from Calvin himself. I was a reporter for a small college newspaper in Aberdeen, SD and had interviewed him for my column. Little did I know when I popped that tape into the deck that day, how blown away I would be by the music that came pouring out. Sunrise in the Rockies truely moved me and White Water Chopped Sticks made me happy. I now own all of Calvins albums on CD and have in fact just had to repurchase Through High Places as I wore my last copy out. If you want to hear great piano music that will make you feel good, then you can't go wrong with Through High Places.

This is the best recording that I have ever listened to! I suggest that you get it!

This CD absolutely will make your day. Calvin's music sweeps you off your feet.

This album is wonderful. I have listened to it since I met Calvin Jones almost 10 years ago. No other pianist that I know plays with such emotion and creativity.
