Reviewer: Robin Elks, "Robin on the Radio", 2TENFM 89.7 & 98.7 Tenterfield New South Wales 7 Stanthorpe Queensland Australia I was very surprised to find this was the first CD from the Bill DiCosimo outfit. With the talent displayed here it certainly won't be their last. The musicianship is world class and Lisa has the flexible vocal ability to tackle any chart. Bill, Edgar and Frank create a perfect musical unit and Bill's piano and composing work are inspirational. The mix of originals and covers is as fresh as tomorrow. This CD has found a regular place in the "Jazz Infusion" part of my show. A live recording of top quality music. Reviewer: John Reid, Keith Community Radio, Keith-Banffshire, Scotland A live recording of top quality music, with a nice lively, smooth, and well balanced quality. Musicians who interact well together and back up the vocals with top class musicianship in their own right. The arrangements are spot on and I was also very impressed with Bill DiCosimo's own compositions which are well structured. The melodies and rhythms are excellent throughout and come over well in the live performance. Great Work all round. An incredible cross genre mix! Reviewer: Tony Bates, Highlands 100.7 FM, Maldon Victoria Australia What an incredible cross genre mix, that in lesser hands might well have failed. This album grabs your attention from track one and from then on you're its captive! Fantastic Album! Reviewer: Alex Pijnen, BRTO Radio, Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands Fantastic Album! Great stuff for our Radio Station. Great balance between standards and originals. Check out "Kane's Blues!" Reviewer: John This live recording catches the quartet in great form as they run through a set that includes some well chosen standards as well as some terific new originals including the title cut and "Kane's Blues." Bill DiCosimo tears it up on piano and the the band's versatility, sense of humor and overall chemistry are in evidence throughout. A superior live date and well worth the price of admission!!! Reviewer: Amy Bernon, Songwriter & Published Composer The CD came yesterday, and I've been listening to it almost non-stop! It's gorgeous and I'm loving it. Lisa's voice is so flexible--whatever range she's in and whatever style she's singing, it's wonderful! The whole group is so tight and together. I hope I get to hear you live sometime. Wish I lived closer! Congratulations on the CD, and keep up the great music! Fun, thoughtful, original... Reviewer: Big Fan This CD has everything...groovy beats, thoughtful ballads, and musical prowess from each member. The group has a great sense of ensemble. I dare you to try and get the title song out of your head! Reviewer: Mark Bialczak - Syracuse Post Standard Newspaper The 12-song disc, split evenly between original songs and covers, captures the intimate feel of the 70-seat theater as the quartet melds the sounds of jazz, blues and world beats. The good vibe starts with DiCosimo's keen composing ear. "Give Me All Your Love" allows Lisa DiCosimo's voice to soar and "Tomorrow Brings the Rain" let's DiCosimo's keyboards put you in the mood to hear the drops play nature's beat on the roof. great live session Reviewer: Larry Luttinger Perennial favorite on the the Upstate New York jazz scene, Bill DiCosimo's group really captures the high energy level of their live performances with this project. Their takes on jazz, Latino and funk standards and some great originals are as fresh and in-your-face as it gets. Check it out! First Class musicianship, Too good to be considered a local release! Reviewer: Denny Giantomasi This is a super group! Every instrument (vocals included) is represented by a true artist. Bill DiCosimo's keyboard work is world class! That alone would be enough, but Edgar Pagan's bass work and Frank Neubert's drumming are sheer inspiration backed by supreme command and major league talent. Lisa DiCosimo has the serious vocal chops to tie it all together. Listening to the outstanding blend of songs played in arrangements that augment the mind blowing talent in this group, you can't help but feel you're listening to a 4th or 5th CD from a legendary band. They are that good! If you like the Jazz Genre, then you'd be a fool not to pick up this disc. Some Amazing stuff here!! Enjoy it often. It even gets better!
