CD Reviews
Superb Baroque Style Classical Peaceful Music!
Brian Chapman | Mesa, Arizona | 03/20/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have many classical CD's in my home library, but Positive Persistence contains unique, soothing and transporting compositions, unlike other contemporary classical composers today. These compositions can lift your spirt, calm your soul, yet are the perfect mood music for a dinner party or gathering. My children listen to it as they study, and also as they fall asleep. This composer, Jennifer Small, must be in tune with today's fast paced lifesyles and conditions. Listening to this music will bring a smile to your face and at the same time enlighten your mood. Give yourself a real special treat with this CD! It is one of the few CD's out there today that all ages and all cultures can benefit from. Thank goodness that a composer alive today can continue on the technical ability of our past baroque and classical composers from Europe. I can't wait to purchase Jennifer's other 5 CD's and it will be quite a surprise and a delight to read her upcoming lyrical poetry book. I highly recommend society to experience real music with integrity! Positive Persistence reflects this and much more!"
Exquisite Classical Music!

"If you want a real treat, then listen to Positive Persistence by Jennifer Small! This music is alive and full of sparks, yet comforts your mind after a long day, or throughout the day to keep your spirit and mind moving! It makes you smile, and sets your day in a positive direction! The graphic design on this CD is so cool; its photography and layout are one of a kind. The poetry inside the CD again matches the tonality of these compositions. I suggest that you all add Positive Persistence, by composer Jennifer Small to your CD collection. I have 3 other Jennifer Small albums, and look ahead to purchasing her others. What other living composer today writes such uplifting lyrical, poetic and melodic modern classical music? You can not compare Small's music to anyone out there today; it is simply unique!"
Perfect Music designed for an Enlightening Evening!
Allison Myers | San Jose, CA | 03/29/2002

"This CD, Positive Persistence, sets the tone for an enchanting evening! It is uplifting, spiritual, and calming to the soul. A soothing mixture of melodic moving notes that blend beautifully together. Jennifer Small glides her fingers across the piano keys like an olympic ice skater performing dance movements against the ice. As you close your eyes, this music flows right through your soul, unlike any other music available today. What a fresh album that is crisp and clean, not filled with fillers or over shadowing of other instruments. Just pure piano, performed and composed with finesse and grace. I highly recommend this CD, Positive Persistence to all music lovers of all ages. It is the perfect gift for any family member, your boss, your friends and for children. For me, however, Positive Persistence initiates a delightful evening and transforms my mood into a tranquil and dreamy state of bliss!"
Beautiful unique and spiritually uplifting classical music!

"Posistive Persistence is beautifully executed in a unique classical contemporary style. These compositions are perfect music to unwind after a long day, soothing enough to relax and comfort you, yet spiritually uplifting to move you into a "positive" mood. This music could be in many movies and videos, backround music at dinner parties and gatherings, and for students to study by. I listen to the classical composers from ages ago, and it is refreshing to see that a composer today is able to write classically based music amongst all the music out there that has no foundation. Jennifer Small's music is like no other composer living today, and I plan to order her other 5 albums that she has. This is one CD that all ages should have in their collection. It is timeless and unlike temporary styled music, Jennifer Small's music will be here hundreds of years from now, like Mozart and Beethoven. I highly urge you to purchase this CD to begin your journey into exposure of technical classical music of a contemporary composer."
Restful but alive

"Jennifer Small's Positive Persistence seems somewhat unique to me. It is classical in style and intellectual content, but almost New Age-ish in its relaxing tone. Perhaps this is a moderm example of what folks have in mind when they tout the meditational qualities of Bach, Handel and Mozart. The music provides structure and ideas for the mind without leaving unanswered questions at the end of every phrase. I find this album very nourishing and pleasant. I play it often, especially while planning projects or resolving personal questions."
