Free Music Review: "Another Winner in a Lush Romantic Style ... Escape (2006) ... Jim Brickman"
Hit: 5 Stars
Savoy Music Group presents "ESCAPE", as this captures Jim Brickman's talent with special appearances by Sara Evans (the Academy of Country Music's "Female Vocalist of the Year" for 2006), R&B vocal star Gerald Levert and smooth jazz guitarist extraordinaire Marc Antoine --- the composer and pianist Brickman has come up with another winner in a lush and romantic instrumental and vocal ballads --- the word enchanting comes to mind, featuring selections "MY ANGEL", "AWAKENING", "BARCELONA", "BIG SKY", "FIRST LIGHT", "PARADISE", "TIMELESS" and "WATERFALL" --- each with Brickman's beautiful light jazz rhythmic signature style.
Also in attendance are Gerald Levert adds his effortlessly fluid vocals on the beautiful lullaby, "MY ANGEL" ... another guest on the roster is jazz guitarist Marc Antoine playing the title song "ESCAPE" ... performing "WHEN IT SNOWS" is Geoff Byrd a lyrical and melodic track of perfection ... next we have Sara Evans "NEVER ALONE" words cannot describe this touching selection ... finally the gem of the album is "MY ANGEL" featuring Gerald Levert with his impeccable styling and Brickman's unforgettable melody.
Brickman writes a wide variety of music. Besides his piano compositions and love songs, he has also created arrangements of other songs. Several of his albums feature arrangements of children's music; he has produced two Christmas-themed albums "The Gift" (1997) and "Peace" (2003); and his 2005 album "Grace" concentrates on arrangements of well known Christian music --- Brickman signed with Windham Hill Records to release his first album, "No Words", in 1994 --- The song "Rocket To The Moon" from that album was the first solo instrumental song ever to be ranked on Billboard's charts --- Four of his albums "By Heart", "Picture This", "The Gift", and "Destiny", have all sold over 500,000 copies, qualifying them as gold records in the United States --- this album will fall into place and keep Brickman's string of hits on a steady roll to success --- once again Savoy Music Group has brought into their stables of artists a champion ... Jim Brickman!

Free Music Review: Simple...heartfelt...inviting
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a Jim Brickman fan for about 9 years now. I fell in love with his style of piano playing because you could feel the emotion in his delivery...I had to find out who I was hearing on the radio. Well, I ended up using his songs for my wedding and have bought every record since. I think "Escape" is a great title for this CD. Everyone wants to escape and the music in this album will definately get you on your way. I think my favorites so far are Barcelona (love the depth of it..beautiful)...I love the song "Never Alone"...the words are very sincere.....Winter Waltz is captivating, love the duo of the violin and piano....I think "When it Snows" is such a great track to listen to with your loved one and snuggle up by the fire with some hot cocoa...doesn't that sound nice? :-) I really enjoyed the production and the talent of the singer, Geoff Byrd...I love the intimacy and cheerfulness of "Timeless"...Great CD...Glad I bought it.Free Music Review: A Great Mellow CD!

I picked up my first copy of "ESCAPE" after seeing Jim Brickman perform last year. It quickly became a family favorite, even with my kids. I have since bought a few more copies as baby gifts.
The music is perfect for rocking a baby or simply relaxing. Ironically, the vocal R&B lullaby "MY ANGEL" was my least favorite track (although it did grow on me over time and I can see how it would appeal to some). "YOU ARE NEVER ALONE", with vocals by Sara Evans (CMA's 2006 Female Vocalist of the Year), alone is worth the price of the CD. A close second are the vocals of Geoff Byrd in "WHEN IT SNOWS".
Brickman was a joy to see in concert. This CD full of his mellow piano music and ballads is the next best thing. If you like to relax to instrumental music and soft ballads, you will be very pleased with this CD.

Free Music Review: Some of his best work yet!
Hit: 5 Stars
Everything I have read about the CD says that it has been three years since his last CD of original material. This has to be some of his best work of all time! He can take three year gaps between every CD if this is what is produced. :)
The best tracks are some of the first on the CD. Waterfall is the absolute best track on this CD. A beautiful melody! The guitar/piano duet is also amazing in Escape. Barcelone and Awakening are also beautiful pieces! The best vocal track on the CD is Never Alone, a duet with Sara Evans.
While I did find two of the vocal tracks to be unejoyable, but that is more an issue with the singers themselves, and not the song itself.
This truly is a wonderful example of Jim's work and a great addition to your collection. I highly recommend this CD!
Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a Jim Brickman fan for a few years now. When I saw this CD came out, I could not resist getting it. It is absolutely amazing and fully worth it. When I first put it in my stereo, I had to sit there just to listen to the first few tracks without doing anything. That was how impressive they were. The title of the album is incredibly fitting. While my roommate is venting about the latest drama in her group of friends, I have this CD turned up in my own little corner to "Escape" from it all. I swear I could not have found anything more fitting to be listening to while trying to get away from real life for a bit. If you love Jim Brickman, or just like soft jazz, or piano music, this CD is a must have.
