Blessed with European charm and a wonderful sense of melody, Swiss-American composer Jean-Jacques Schoch weaves songs that are truly cinematic. ------------------------------------------------------ When a gifted composer sits down at a beautiful grand piano, and performs his own songs with grace and restraint, magic can happen. Such is the case with this stunning debut from Jean-Jacques Schoch, eleven "French Romantic Impressions" for solo piano. Playing his melodies with a gentleness and feel that only the composer can summon, Schoch's cinematic themes stay in your head long after listening. My favorite is "Reminiscence," an aptly titled piece with a hook so instant that you swear you've heard it before. Another standout is "Heaven and Earth," written by his 9-year old daughter(!) Alexandra, who obviously has inherited Daddy's melodic gift. Beautifully recorded and soulfully played, IMAGES OF A MORNING DREAM is a breath of fresh air, a reflective collection of passionate pieces that resound with a simple elegance. A gifted composer, Schoch has succeeded - this album transports you another time and place. Peter Elman - Oakland, CA I highly recommend this wonderful work of art. Jean-Jacques' music is very calming and soothing - simple, yet complex. It has the potential to take anyone to the very depths of mind and soul. It is truly a gift to all who listen, from a very passionate and talented human being. Listen and enjoy! This is a must have for everyone's music collection. Alyx MacKenzie - Mar Vista, CA This CD accomplishes the difficult goal of making music that is interesting, intellectual, emotional and soothing at the same time. It's a MUST HAVE CD. AC Gypsy (from Amazon.com) Excellent evening listening. Steelphoenix - enjoyer of quiet time. From his Amazon series: 'Sleep, Unwind, Relax: Albums of Ambience and Meditation' I highly recommend this mood alteration...
