David Kikoski - Lighter Way - Jazz Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist David Kikoski has released him CD entitled Lighter Way. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe David Kikoski fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Lighter Way David Kikoski's artistic excellence is on full display as Kikoski has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Lighter Way. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of David Kikoski's most impressive releases ever.

Overall Lighter Way is an outstanding release. Quite possibly David Kikoski's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Blanket Of Byrd, track 6 - Florence's Reverie, and track 8 - Variation 1.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5 - Lighter Way. Good stuff!

The Pressing Need for No-Glitch Voice Over Services

By Rajeev Dixit   With the world turning into one global village, the need for voice over talents has risen. The global village we envision the world to be has to speak a certain language. This happens to be English, for some it's the standard American English for other it's British English. The role of language in the expression of arts, culture, information and intellectual pursuits is indispensable.

A Review of Musicnotes - Digital Sheet Music Dealer

Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in my area, so shopping online was my only alternative. After trying different online sheet music dealers I finally came across one that I really liked-Musicnotes. This website offered instant digital sheet music and I thought it sounded cool, but wasn't sure
