Gorgeous

"If you're looking for Jazz music that is sophisticated, complex and yet not discordant buy this CD. Vince Medoza is perhaps one of the finest composers of this genre and to have the London Symphony realize his music, well we must have died and entered the pearly gates. (that's of course if you believe in Heaven) I don't know if there are words that can accurately describe or even give weight to the music's sound. All I know is when you receive your copy of this CD, play "Wheaton Sky" First. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, this piece will transform the moment. It's wonderful in the Car on a long scenic drive, drinking coffee on a Sunday Morning or watching the light

change in your living room, you'll know something wonderful had happened. Simply Gorgeous."

Spectacular

"I'm listening to this CD as I write this and in a word, it is spectacular. I found the CD by accident as I was trying to find works on which Michael Brecker appears. The orchestra joined with the accomplished jazz musicians makes this CD haunting and powerful, capable of transporting you to another place. I am particularly drawn to the tune Ambivalence, though they are all excellent. Do what you must to find this CD - it's a must have!"
