*** A Note from Will Ackerman ***
People grow older and leave their dreams behind. It happens all the time. Life becomes more about the day to day, the responsibilities we gladly, even happily, accept.
What struck me about Jeff when we met was his unwillingness to go silently into that good night. Always alive, Jeff became more animated and passionate with every note we recorded.
That he has the talent in his playing was never in question. That he has the capacity to write and arrange utterly contemporary music is perhaps more surprising but also a given with him.
It's the fact that he would not let go of what moves him that is so remarkable. Jeff did not leave his dreams behind and the proof of it is contained in the passion and brilliance of these pieces.

With independent artists like Jeff and great sites like CD Baby, who needs the b
author: Bob Rosso
A mix of Yani and a twist of Chris Botti and, At Last, we have musical content worth listening to. Everything about this CD lives up to the category that I discovered it in on the CD Baby site. The music is inspiring, uplifting and soothing enough to dine, relax, love, or sleep by. This is one CD where fewer is better. Better to have purchased a CD where every song is performed perfectly than to have one with 10 tracks of fluff. Jim, keep it simple, keep it beautiful and keep it coming. Great talent.

Excellent CD, But Only 4 tracks?
author: Kris
This is an excellent CD, I was very impressed with it. My only complaint would be the overall length . . . rather short!

The spirit of independent artists lives on!
author: Frank Jackson, Sunjada Production
In listening to mainstream radio, it is easy to believe that the artists you hear 10 times a day are the only talented musicians out here. This music certainly represents the triumph of the human spirit and has inspired me to continue to perfect my own craft. Jeff Oster? Good Work!..and CD Baby? Thanks for helping to keep the independent spirit alive!

Beautiful! Truly wonderful music!
author: Laryssa Robideau
The only thing dissapointing about this CD is that it is not long enough. It leaves you wanting MORE! I listened -after taking a chance on this artist, and I was delightfully surprised by the beautiful music I heard. Track 3 is especially nice. The vocals are not overwhelming but add the right touch of elegance to enhance the piece. It is actually one of the most gorgeous songs I have ever heard. Keep making this music. It is wonderful!
