Album Notes

"Listening to Jessica Roemischer's solo piano performance on Haven is a musical meditation, an exploration of melody through the prism of blues, jazz, classical, and more. She wonderfully integrates these styles into a tapestry of sound textures that evoke peace, because they come from love." Greg Thomas, Music Writer and Author, New York Daily News

Combining the finesse of an award-winning classical pianist with the soul of a life-long blues and jazz player, Jessica Roemischer brings you unique covers from "Amazing Grace" to Dave Matthews' "Crash into Me," as well as evocative original compositions.

"At the keyboard, Jessica Roemischer creates cathedrals of sound, visible, tangible, not just audible. She is a true improviser, bravely venturing, her vistas unrestricted, but always honoring the melody and its harmonic richness...She leaves the listener enriched and delighted." Michael Steinman, "Jazz Lives"

"Haven" was recorded directly from a state-of-the-art digital Yamaha grand piano in front of live audiences. So you'll hear in pristine digital quality sound the immediacy of a remarkable performance without any of the distractions.

Jessica Roemischer performs throughout the United States and internationally. Here are some responses:

"When I get to heaven, I'm going to play like that." Elinor Crowe, Toronto

"A rare Mozartean elegance and incredible fluidity. Jessica captivates with virtuosity and friendship." Bonghee Lis, Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA

"I have heard many pianists, but your music opened up a new world for me."
Tatsu Kimura, Saitama Prefecture, Japan

"It is so clear what you are onto here---nothing less than the realization of real beauty, real joy, real enduring humanity. You have poked a window from here to the other side--a way of seeing into truth where no fear can have sway." Carrie Vanderwagen, Berkeley, CA

"Jessica Roemischer takes music off the keys and delivers it to a place that is none other than Love." Reverend Doug Small, First Congregational Church, Worthington, MA

"You're healing us with your one-of-a-kind soul sound. Thank you for tuning our world."
Dan McKinnon, Ph.D Vancouver, Canada

REVIEWS

Piano playing as it should be done.
author: Erik
                            
This is truly wonderful music. Every piece has an equally strong and emotional vibrance within, and the playing is thoroughly beautiful and elegant, and executed with absolute finesse and grace. It has perfect shades between soft and sharp, and the blues just tumbles, rolls and falls like raindrops. I recommend this to absolutely anyone who wholly enjoys piano, classical, and specifically jazz and blues, because those aspects of this CD are done just so good and authentically, and is perfect for anyone who enjoys relaxing to some soulful and emotional piano playing, or even just to have some quality music to brighten your day while carrying out your daily activities. Overall, just an altogether great CD, and I couldn't imagine it being done any better.
