2.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Jo Ann Castle, August 29, 2001

Barely 20 minutes for a full priced CD seems thin. Some of the selections are very good, and some average to below."Tiger Rag" accompanied by a tuba sounds more like a lap cat than a tiger.

With a running time of 26:12, this album may not be as long as most CDs, but I'd rather have quality over quantity, and Jo Ann Castle's talent is unquestionable. When I played this for my father, he thought the music had been sped up -- because Jo Ann Castle's fingers can move almost inhumanly fast. The music is upbeat and puts me in a good mood almost instantly. I've heard others say that instead of playing the piano, Jo Ann attacks it! It's obvious that she loves to play, and I can't imagine anyone being immune to her infectious joy on the piano.
