"Groovide" by John Pedersen (smooth jazz artist from California)

The CD "Groovidi" by John Pedersen is an impressive smooth jazz CD. The instrumentation and production are tasteful and the melodies are memorable. Especially impressive, is John's excellent piano and keyboard work, and the excellent musicianship throughout the CD. The CD has a very professional sound. "Montery Getaway" is one of our favorite tracks. It demonstrates the versatility of John's piano skills. The compositon is very soothing and breathtaking all at the same time. It has a Bob Baldwin kind of feel to it. The reverb from the piano jumps out at you and almost makes you feel like you're right in the room with him. Please go out and purchase this CD. We recommend it to anyone who appreciates smooth melodies and stylish beats.

"Island Bars" by Frank Tuma (instrumental latin jazz artist from Florida)

The CD entitled "Island Bars" by Frank Tuma is an instrumentally beautiful work of art wonderfully mixed with Jazz and blues with a strong Caribbean feel . This CD is full of classical and traditional grooves combined in a revolutionary way, yet holding its strong quality of reminiscence. The musicianship and recording quality on the CD are splendid. The artist behind this exquisite work is completely, heartily welded in the tunes as he plays with a sense of dexterity, vivacity and wit. His manner of blend of instruments is magical. All the tracks in this CD sound very good. However, we see ourselves playing the track "When the saints are marching" over and over again. Frank's well arranged instruments give this traditional number a contemporarily Latino feel, rich in Jazz influence. The title "In a down and dirty Bar" has a skillful trumpet part and a rich Jazzy touch. If you enjoy hauntingly ethereal instrumental melodies with Jazz and blues flavor, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today.

"Big Rain" by Neumaria (modern folk artist from Adelaide, Australia)

"Big Rain" is an impressive modern folk rock CD from Neumaria. We loved the assimilation of a beautiful woman in "She's a Scarecrow". Vocalist Cindy MacDonald performs majestically on this entire CD. The title cut "Big Rain" gives way to a smooth blend musically, lyrically, and vocally. This talented group of musicians hails from Adelaide Australia, and they have captured musically what we all strive for in closeness of friendship. Thought-provoking "Universal Hymn", our favorite track, is inwardly reflective, peaceful and contemporary, worldly, and retrospect, and will have you asking questions about your motives and seeking those answers from above. This CD teaches us that "Waiting" is worth the outcome of any good plan. But wait no longer: Pick up a copy of "Big Rain" today!

"Songs from the 3rd Floor" by John Mizzoni (Folk artist from Pennsylvania)

"Songs From The 3rd Floor" contains a full 15 songs from John Mizzoni, who's been around long enough to know what the listeners want to hear. He brings a style to his folk that certainly can accommodate most easy-listening, folk audiences. He should know what folks want to hear, as an Associate Professor of Philosophy ( Neumann College , Aston, PA). His soothing "Instrumental in G" and lively "Keyboard C Strings Instrumental" both contain wonderful soul-searching musical moments that capture a flow of the music to come. John seems like a modern-day John of the 1960's - Lennon, with slight accent and certainly quality. John picks up the pace with "We Don't Need Cash", lively and right on the money! Our favorite "Somewhere in Between" rises above the nature of time and gives a fresh new perspective . This CD captures the best of experimental instrumental fusion and soulful, thought-provoking lyrics. If you wish to relax and enjoy all 15 selections, this is the CD for you! Pick up a copy today.

"Crazy Blonde" by Jackie Lawson (Country artist from Charleston, Illinois)

WOW! "Crazy Blonde" shows that Jackie Lawson is a true American Country gal with a load of talent, ambition and drive to make it BIG in this highly competitive pursuit of country music. Jackie is "Stubborn", as she reveals in our favorite track by the same name. This country gal should definitely be "Busy, busy, busy" on the concert scene, as she has got what it takes. Jackie performs exceptionally on the entire CD. It was a tough decision picking a favorite track. We enjoyed the mandolin accompanied tune "The First To Fall" as the love ballad pick of this upbeat CD. If you are looking for the new voice of female country music, look no further today.
