Album Notes

Blessed with European charm and a wonderful sense of melody, Swiss-American composer Jean-Jacques Schoch weaves songs that are truly cinematic.

---------------

When a gifted composer sits down at a beautiful grand piano, and performs his own songs with grace and restraint, magic can happen.
Such is the case with this stunning debut from Jean-Jacques Schoch, eleven "French Romantic Impressions" for solo piano.
Playing his melodies with a gentleness and feel that only the composer can summon, Schoch's cinematic themes stay in your head long after listening. My favorite is "Reminiscence," an aptly titled piece with a hook so instant that you swear you've heard it before. Another standout is "Heaven and Earth," written by his 9-year old daughter(!) Alexandra, who obviously has inherited Daddy's melodic gift.
Beautifully recorded and soulfully played, IMAGES OF A MORNING DREAM is a breath of fresh air, a reflective collection of passionate pieces that resound with a simple elegance.
A gifted composer, Schoch has succeeded - this album transports you another time and place.

I highly recommend this wonderful work of art.
Jean-Jacques' music is very calming and soothing - simple, yet complex. It has the potential to take anyone to the very depths of mind and soul. It is truly a gift to all who listen, from a very passionate and talented human being.
Listen and enjoy! This is a must have for everyone's music collection.

This CD accomplishes the difficult goal of making music that is interesting, intellectual, emotional and soothing at the same time.
It's a MUST HAVE CD.
