A stunning debut recording from one of Oregon's most gifted performers and composers. The Motive Behind the Smile features an All Star line up with Cam Newton on guitars, Eddie Daniels on flutes, Larry Karush on percussion instruments, Michael Urbaniak on electric violin and Special Guest Billy Hart on cymbals (on ''Still Life Forest'')Is the music on this CD jazz, folk music, traditional Eastern European songs, Appalachian, or some type of melodic modern classical music? The answer is all of the above, and none. It is clear from listening to the title cut that Cam Newton is in his own category of music.
