Quite a few talented authors took part in this compilation. I enjoyed all the stories, some more than others. Most quiet a bit. Will be seeking out some 'new' authors I have not read before.

My wife & I both listen to this new album as much as we can.  Best effort so far from this extremely talented group.  You can tell they really worked hard to get the harmonies perfect along with the top quality orchestration.  So nice to have a new generation spotlight the wonderful legacy of musical theater!!  Hope they keep it up - we can't wait for more!!

This CD absolutely shows the absolute talent in the absolute Canadian Brass. These short little songs might be abused, but they showed the great skills the players had.  The tuba was heard clearly in one of the song's end.  Trombone had a lot of solo that showed hard technique, and the trumpets are surprisingly outstanding!  The French horn might not be heard quite easily, but it was played fantastically good.

Great recording for sure, all famous songs, and some great classical ballads.

I followed Jonathan and Charlotte on Britain's Got Talent.  They blew the socks off the judges and the audience in their audition.  And they went on to ultimately take second place in the 2012 competition.  They were only 17 and 16 at the time -- and were already first rate talents.  This album is fantastic.  It's one of the best that I own.  My only wish is that they had included more songs in English.  Most of the songs on the CD are in Italian and sung in the operatic tradition.  Nevertheless, the quality of the album is absolutely tops.

I absolutely love the talent shown by these musicians and the singer and the lyrics are thought-provoking and good! Highly recommend purchasing this album if you like solid rock music.

As someone new to SB I'm utterly impressed with everything this band does and the DVD does an excellent job of illustrating how talented and versatile these guys are- how they reproduce a complex and awesome CD sound live.
My only complaint is suffering a little "genius overload". Song after song is an awesome display of musical talent and you actually start to take it for granted and miss some of the things they do!
Highly recommended, especially if you're a musician. I would have liked to see Alan Morse's guitar rig just to discover how he gets some of those sounds.

a magnificent EP!  an excellent variety in song styles, all bursting with energy and passion.  clever lyrics, fantastic vocals, lengthy tracks; i was very impressed.  a couple tracks felt a good bit longer than they needed to be, or i would give it five stars.  if allowed, my most accurate rating for this would be four-and-a-half stars...
really love it!

It would not surprise me if this CD went on to produce a number of top 10 hits.  Really, really good from top to bottom.  Young the Giant has tremendous potential, and this group of songs proves they are on their way.  STRONG vocals, melodies and good harmonies when needed - definitely an enjoyable disc to listen to at work, while driver or pop on It's About Time - if you want to get pumped up for a workout.

Congrats to YTG for such a complete effort!

More and more I'm surprised by the talent and sensibility of A.Timmons. This "Lost Ear X tacy" countain instrumental songs (cd 1) and singed songs (cd 2)extremely goods where he can explore all his talents and influences as well. Take a look mainly at the "september", for the first time released on a cd. Great work!

These guys are incredibly talented!! So amazing to hear real talent and not auto tuned voices these days.  This CD has a great mix of songs...some originals and some cover songs.
Wouldn't call my self a country music fan- but  I love this CD. Great music to drive to because, it always puts me in a great mood. Now, I don't get frustrated by NJ drivers!! ;)
Love Home Free and highly recommend their new Christmas CD- Full of Cheer as well.

Let's face it: the smooth jazz genre is ripe for the pickings for "collaboration" projects that throw top-notch musicians together hoping for a quick buck with the end result more often than not, unfortunately, sadly indicating just that.

.....but, oooooooooooh, baby....not here!!!:0)

Jeff Lorber - no brainer
Chuck Loeb - no brainer
Everett Harp - nooooooooo brainer!

I admit that because we have three extraoooooooooordinary musicians each with a wealth of talent, rich experience, and an impressive body of work, that it sounds as if objectivity here might be a problem.

Not really.  First and foremost, these guyz can just play. They are accomplished musicians I have listened to SCADS of their work.  Some goodies.  Some duds. Pure artists?  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaabsolutely!! Moreover, it sounds as if they're feeling each other with Jeff on keyboards, Chuck on guitar, and Everett on sax, translating into a feeeeeeeeestive smooth jazz project with crisp arrangements that I highly recommend!!

I saw this one-girl show and it was fabulous, and I had hoped that the cd would recreate as much of that wonderful theatrical experience as possible. IT DOES. I knew that the cd would be fun, but it is so much more. First, Sami Staitman is a fresh new talent and clearly a future STAR. At 15 years old, she already knows how to deliver a song like a pro, and here are 14 of them, a beautiful mix of lovely ballads and wonderfully fun specialty songs, written by Bruce Kimmel (some of his best work). Through these songs, we learn the frank thoughts of a typical 14 year old girl (well, typical only for a really good girl who has grown up on musicals). The music is so enjoyable and the lyrics are just so witty, exploring areas and topics that most would never attempt and doing it brilliantly! I was going to list some of my favorite songs on this cd, but then I realized that I'd really just be listing them all. Often times I buy a cd, listen to it once or twice, and that's it, BUT, this is a cd that you will want to listen to over and over. It is just so much fun and guaranteed to keep a smile on your face!

These kids are incredibly talented.  I saw one of them in Annie on Broadway last year.  The songs are ones I already loved.  The kids nail them.  I cannot rave enough about the quality of these kids singing voices and the song selection.  I am so glad to have a CD of the younger Broadway cast members.  They deserve it!

This is both entertaining and exquisite talent. The tunes are catchy and complex.  It is highly recommended to any music lover!

This up-and-coming group has a lot of talent -- originality and so down-to-earth.  I like their latest album even more.
