canyons and reefs of Cozumel, to timelapse sunsets over the majestic Chesapeake

Some reviews on
tracks featured on this DVD
·The music sounds great. Very moving piece of
music, classical in style with a new age feel, the video goes well with it. ~One World Radio UK
·Really amazing!! ~Santiago Vera, Italy
·long dives in to the raw emotional shards of
extended composition with no pop structure in sight. This piece floats and
wafts, sometimes sad and buoyant to be broken by the quick flourish and bite of
the trill fish, darting between the semibreves and bottom ooze. I think that it
is adventurous and bold, it does indeed remind me of some of the drama of
Beethoven and is more European to me in its currents and eddies. I could talk
of production and sound sources but not today, l just want to listen and be
washed by my mother the deep mysterious sea. Bravo.~ David Hill, Australia
·It's the best and it made my day, God Bless you.
~ EM Nestsoul, Cape Town South Africa
·Nice job Jim. ~ Mike Meyer, USA
·For late night listening, I quite like it and I
am always impressed by anyone who can actually make piano keys actually
"tinkle". Improv skills really show! Also, it's simply beautiful!
~ Michael Sirois, Denmark
·An amazing composition, sounds and performance.
Well done with this Jim. ~ D William, USA
·Man that was so good I just had to rub my face
to help come out of the trance so I could try and compose some thoughts on what
I've just heard. Without even the need of a title of any imagery I was
immediately drawn under the waves, bubbles floating around my head as I swam
deeper and deeper into this piece. There were some truly masterful parts
counterpointed by "wash over me" phases that worked so well as a
whole. Can you tell, I quite liked it?~
Ray Chapman, United Kingdom
·Nice video man and great playing, good work,
keep it up ~ Andy Dawson, USA
·Absolutely beautiful.. realizing I don't
typically listen to anything less than 30 minutes, but I figured what the heck
I really don't have a lot going on in my life so I decided this one time ..
seriously amazing piano and shows the bar as of right now has been raised by
more than several degrees .. I actually never did lose interest straight thru.
~ Ray Pitts, USA
·Beautiful. Mesmerizing, I love it! ~ Janice
Lewis, USA
·Love George Winston. December is a holiday
staple around my home. As such, you can imagine I really enjoyed the piano work
here. Very beautiful and very relaxing. Can’t say I honestly listened to the
entire piece, but what I did listen to was beautiful (about 10 minutes)I’ll be
back for the rest. Nice. ~ David Becker, USA
·This is very good ! You really captured the feel
of the water. ~ Mary McEwan, USA
·I've given the concerto a listen. It is really
quite nice. I like the inclusion of band elements in the 2nt movement. And
again, the use of effects, which I've not heard you use prior.. reverb, delay..
is handled very well. Enjoyed this a great deal!!P.S. Your technique is really
stunning...whether used for subtlety or bravado.~Richard Lumpkin, USA
·A wonderful composition, performance and video.
Top marks for me Jim. Well done! ~ Douglas Williams, USA
·So Soothing,I Loved It! ~ Eva Winters, USA
·I was overloaded by fish-school & glissandi,
& decided to eliminate the visuals, & immediately memories of Keith
Jarrett's improvisations on piano came to mind. Another movement arrives, &
here the atmospherics contribute, connection to 3rd movement, Jarrett full
chords played with gusto & glissandi reprise. Your command of the keys is
sublime. Finishing with a spiritual surprised. ~ James Pembroke, Brisbane
Australia
·Beautiful music Jim! ~ Adam Abbity, USA
·I can’t look at the ocean without thinking about
how we’re killing it. The frenetic pace of the playing stirred me. ~ Trudy
Fielding, Sydney Australia
·Really nice film, keep up the good work! ~
A.D. USA
·Well this is cool. A beautiful stirring piece
full of emotion and possibly angst. you've hit the reaction mark, with this,
loved the sweeping addition of the strings and orchestra washing away behind
the frantic keys. Some beautiful highs and lows and superbly glued together for
a truly dramatic experience. It had to be about water. Great stuff. ~ Alan
Pullen, Strawberry Records Australia
·After several weeks of travel, I finally had
enough internet service to watch Jim Baugh's musical video composition. From
the first few moments I was totally enthralled. The music truly accentuated the
beauty of the underwater video. A true master piece of music bringing the video
to life. Very nicely done. ~ Jack Normand, USA
·I couldn't listen to all of it Jim but what I
heard was just magical. ~Carol Ratcliffe , Oakham United Kingdom
·WOW!!!Music and diving both incredible! ~ Louise Tutka Scott , USA
·Absolutely amazing Jim...CONGRATS and keep it
going! ~Ernest Mathewson, USA
·Totally awesome! You are truly a man of many
talents! Congratulations! ~Joyce Dick , USA
·"Very
Impressive" ~Andy Tremayne, England
·Continental plates shift and grind creating
great earthquakes that can destroy beyond imagination. Climate fronts of hot
and cold air collide and can generate massive tornados that rip across the
plains and give the great mother nature a facelift. And so 12 notes colored
black white on a piano over and over again can evoke such tension and release.
With Jim’s fast and furious right hand glancing across the keys of his piano
grace and beauty roll off the soundboard and into the air. From the power of
his left hand it almost feels as if he can on his own construct massive
mountain ranges. Truly a seasoned talent in conjunction with his passion Jim
creates where others merely observe. You will find yourself wishing to take
flight like a hawk in its prime, so that you can soar high into the air where you
can savor the notes longer and truly realize that vastness on display. A
specific treat is his original composition entitled “KE”, while a dedication to
Keith Emerson Jim seems to also excel in channeling the greats into his own
playing. Even if you are not a fan of Jazz or Progressive Rock I would highly
recommend taking an opportunity to watch this talent on display. For even those
that like a catchy tune on the radio will appreciate the true artistry on
display here. Michael. Music Reviews
Many thanks, and hope you folks wil enjoy the new Piano DVD. 52 min run time, lots of underwater film, astrophotography, live concert, and many sunsets over the Chesapeake all set to beautiful Piano music. JB
