Review:

Jason Peri is one of the more interesting jazz performers and composers on the contemporary scene.  He is a skilled performer and his unique jazz compositions are highly enjoyable listening.  There are 13 original jazz songs in this collection.  Among these imaginative songs are "One Of Thirteen," "Honey Bee," "A Dream About A Dream," "The Truth Whispers," "Well Suited," "Sea of Smiles," "Not On My Watch," "Key To My Eyes," "Letters From Avalon," "Cat Feathers," "She Likes," No Dice" and "Lost Pages."

Each song will have its special appeal to different jazz listeners.  "Letters From Avalon" is one of the most imaginative jazz creations to come down the proverbial pike in many a year and it is a song to savor and explore for its jazz motifs.  "She Likes" and "A Dream About A Dream" are captivating in their direct simplicity and directness of emotion.  "Not On My Watch" and "Cat Feathers" are memorable in their perspective.

Jason Peri remains one of the most creative composers in jazz.  His approach is fresh, creative, and solidly original.  If you want to listen to some exceptional smooth jazz, Jason Peri's CD is a winning ticket from start to finish.  Excellent. Highly recommended. Jason Peri is in top form, and his sound is superb.
