"experience the genius ~ Jane Mangini"

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The opening track "NYC/DUBLIN/NYC", will knock your sox off ~ mixed sounds of New York City and a blend of the Celtic. All songs are composed and arranged by Jane Mangini, with Al Pitrelli and Jane performing with a style that is simply intriguing with brilliance thrown in. The marriage of genres is so original ~ from New Age, Jazz, International and alternative rock, very smooth and enjoyable beyond belief. Must make mention of "AUNT JANE", features the funky blues side of this group, the fingering on the ivories by Jane is unbelievable, just when you think you've heard it all a heavy metal guitar solo surfaces and in comes Jane again answering the beckon call. Another highlight is "DREAM RIVER", once again the guitar blending with percussion and enters our heroine Jane Magnini, nice touch with a distant trumpet. Get ready as "SOMEBODY DANCE WITH LOTTI", make room for some ragtime, latin jazz, funk, hip-hop, down and dirty performance by the artists extraordinaire. Hats off to Peak, Concord Records and all who brought this album to the forefront. If you're not a fan after listening to this CD, then folks you'd better hang it up...it doesn't get any better than this ~ gotta love it! Total Time: 50:30 on 13 Tracks ~ Peak Records 8515-2 ~ (6/10/2003)"

Soothing and Refreshing

"This CD is unique and original as it's artist. I've followed Jane's career over the years and I am delighted with this latest release. The arrangement offers the best quality in surround sound mixing and Jane's delicate fingers seems to effortlessly glide and caress the ivories...sensually manipulating every note as though they danced in the air ....cajoling the listener away in flights of fancy and carefree melodies...A classic in it's own time!"
