From Fusion legend, Mike Stern
"Chris Juergensen is a dedicated and sincere musician who plays from the heart. This comes through on his new CD, Prospects" -Mike Stern

From Jazzreview.com
Prospects features the guitar work and jazz compositions of Chris Juergensen. The songs are unusual, and each song has a special jazz motif.
The CD collection has 7 songs. The songs include "Prospects," "When Love Greets You," "Shepherd Moon," "Where Spirits Dance," among others. Touru Nakashima reveals some very nice piano stylings and is a nice addition to the song performances.

For something different, the jazz listening audience will find the contemporary jazz guitar stylings of Chris Juergensen refreshing, and the music enjoyable.

For a debut recording, this CD is well-crafted and enjoyable listening, the solo work at its finest. PROSPECTS is entertaining. -Lee Prosser, jazzreview.com

"He has stated that this cd was recorded in studio, with a live feel, with minimal rehearsals, and hardly an overdub to be found. This is a surprising fact, to have created such a lush and expressive musical statement as this, seemingly would have required more than a couple rehearsals, yet the music sounds very refined, and the sound quality is very clear. He also made a note to tell me that this cd would represent his jazzier side of fusion, and he also has plans to create some rock influenced fusion cds in the near future, and in listening to his playing skills, I certainly look forward to hearing him doing that, as well as getting an opportunity to get a respectable amount of time in studio to complete it."

"Prospects is a very relaxing listen, great late night music to kick back to, and Chris' playing soothes your mind, setting up solo spots with articulated melodies, and just the right amount of ambiance from his band members. It should be noted that this type of fusion is not anything like the style made famous by such guitarists as - John McLaughlin, Scott Henderson or Al DiMeola, where speed, volume, and technical arrangements are the focal points, this music is more in line with what players like Wayne Krantz, John Scofield, or Mike Stern have been doing, very east coast sounding with a huge jazz influence" -MJBrady, Prognosis

From Gods of Music
Prospects, the opening piece on Chris Juergensen's similarly titled new release, provides a unique sound. A sound like water; fluid and reflective, constantly moving."

"It took me a few sessions with Prospects to appreciate its elegance in simplicity. After acquainting myself with the supportive elements of this piece - the percussion and oh-so-subtle bass and keys - and then going back and focusing on Juergensen's guitar playing, I was able to finally hear the piece as it is: a straightforward, natural and fun instrumental."

"Lush guitar chords tumble throughout the piece, courting the percussion, bass and keys like a dragonfly over the waters. Fully clean and free from any distortion, Juergensen presents a playing style wholly his own. Prospects is one of the most unique sounding pieces I have heard in some time, a positive merit that many contemporary instrumentals lack. There is an innate freshness about it."

"Prospects is an excellent example of Juergensen's ability to perform. It's hard to believe the piece was done with minimal rehearsal and in such a short period. Fusion lovers will eat this up. Excellent work" - Gods of Music, Christopher Farmer
