Another wonderful production by an extremely talented musician Tim Janis and his ensemble. I've been listening and watching this continuously on DVD for the last 5 hours as the new tunes soak into my being. I must say, I feel refreshed. Simply a masterpiece like Beautiful America. Thanks Tim.

The Coastal America music and scenic DVD is exceptional. A person can sit down to watch this and get swept away by the beauty of coastal America and the sounds of the wonderfully orchestrated music. This DVD has become a staple in my kitchen, of all places! After a long hard day at work, I pop in the DVD while I am preparing dinner and in no time, I am relaxed, leaving the frustrations of my workday behind!

I have also purchased this DVD for my parents, who are in their 70's, as a gift. I think it was the best gift I ever gave them! They also enjoy the relaxing nature of it. My mom watches it when she is on her exercise bike, stating this has kept her motivated to get on that bike daily!

I highly recommend this DVD and any of the others this artist has produced. They are not that expensive and well worth it!

This DVD is high quality video as well as sound. Most enjoyable! I highly recomment this DVD.

I am a late comer to realize the beauty of Tim Janis's compositions but he never fails to impress me with his melodies and harmony. This is a wonderful journey across our country and it's beauty.

Any music done by Tim Janis is expected to be wonderful to listen to, and this is no exception. The difference here is that I was expecting to see a lot of Beautiful Coastal America video, but instead there is mostly video of Tim Janis and his Orchestra playing music, interspersed with 10 second clips of beautiful scenery - not quite enough to make me want to watch the video over and over.

Until last night, I had never heard of Tim Janis. I was flipping through the TV channels (I don't have cable, so I can't say I was "surfing") and stopped on my local PBS station when I heard this beautiful music. It caught my attention immediately. My first thought was, I gotta find out who this is and where I can hear more.
Amazon had the answer. This is the DVD of the show I watched. The one I will be buying in the next few minutes. The visuals that go along with it are lush, to the point of almost appearing schmaltzy. But they're real pretty. If you close your eyes while you're listening to the music, you won't notice that they repeat some of the visuals over and over.
Thanks to a limited amount of George Clooney's narration about the various coastal areas, you can almost imagine that you are there.
But don't take my word for it. See and hear it for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Another top notch DVD by Tim Janis. The music by Tim Janis and his ensemble nicely compliments the beautiful photographic depictions of America's coastlines. The commentary by George Clooney is good but at times rather indistinct and soft.

Product not up to the quality expected. Sound quality poor and music far too redundant. Voice narration very low and hard to hear.
