"This is Barbara Higbie's first solo piano CD and it was well worth the wait!!! I find myself listening to the CD over and over... Great catchy tunes... A wonderful and inspiring instrumental CD to listen to... HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"

"I am continually reminded of how our most talented artists go relatively unknown in this age of "American Idol" and other lowest-common-denominator entertainment. Great artists rarely get much media exposure. I am confident that not one percent of our population has heard of Barbara Higbie, though she has been around for years. I only wish she had more recordings to choose from. I recently saw her in concert with two other Windam Hill artists, and she was clearly the star of the show. Her artistry on the piano borders on genius, yet even her complex compostions are accessible and easily evoke emotion. I will never forget her playful facial expressions as she played "Baby Buda". I just purchases this album, and it is as good as I could have hoped for. If you really like jazz and new age solo piano, this CD is a must for your collection. Thank you Barbara. I will enjoy this gift for years to come."
