A while ago I was given Dan Chadburn's CD, Solo Piano as a gift and had set it aside until recently. While I was down with the flu, I went looking for some soothing music to help me sleep. I found Mr. Chadburn's CD and thought it sounded like a perfect choice - and It was! It not only quickly ushered me into peaceful dreams but (having my player set on continuous play) was there to welcome me awake with inspiration, energy and HEALTH! I'm no Doctor, but I figured if sleeping with Dan Chadburn helped me get well, what would living with him do for me? Ok, I'm being silly here...but I really am a HUGE fan now! Playing his Solo Piano while I work, play, and LIVE has really been amazing -- his music speaks the perfect language of inspiration and peace to my soul. Please, don't take my word for it... Let your soul decide -- Enjoy!

A classical piano masterpiece... this is easily one of my favorite soothing cd's. I have the sheet music book as well, which is amazing... complex! I ordered Reflections from Dan and once I have it, I'll get that book too... Buy this album! --mark-- np: Dan Chadburn - Solo Piano

Dan Chadburn's debut recording is a soaring collection of thirteen wonderful compositions and improvisations. Some solo piano albums seem a bit empty and in need of accompaniment, but Dan clearly indicates why solo piano can be the most expressive of any musical medium. I've probably listened to this album at least twenty times, but each time, I've discovered something new, and the songs always seem as fresh as the first time I heard them. Dan's playing style reflects his classical background, as well as his love of improvisation, and his compositions are full of passion and emotion without being overblown or melodramatic.

The CD opens with "Beginnings", a sweetly uplifting piece full of hope and the joy of discovery. "Solitude" is spare and very atmospheric - I can picture someone playing this in a dark, empty room with only moonlight for illumination. My favorite song on the album is "Silence Once Served", an introspective piece of musical soul-searching. The melody is simple, but so heartfelt that it affects me every time. "Midnight Romance" is a gently swirling waltz - quiet but passionate. "Elegy" is my other favorite piece. As its title indicates, there is a feeling of loss and sadness, but there is also a feeling of celebration of someone's life. Gentle, yet very strong, there is an intensely personal feeling in this piece. "Home Again" lightens the mood, conveying warmth and a sense of relief at being back "home" - very contented!

Excellent from start to finish, I highly recommend this album!

The music of Dan Chadburn fills my auditory space on a daily basis. I play this newly released CD to unwind. Chadburn's style of chordal progression moves the active listener forward, while enabling relaxation and visioning at the same time. His music is filled with energy that recharges both soul and body. Chadburn is a great way to complete the day!

Dan, your music is a wonderful mix of sensual melodies that has the power to mesmerize and transport me from the sometimes chaotic, confusing times to a more tranquil place. Masterfully done, you truely have an extraordinary talent. Thanks to my dear friend M. for sharing this CD with me, and to Dan, this is only the beginning..... Let the music play on.

Dan's CD can always change my mood, no matter how crazy a day it's been. His piano is uplifting and strong. It is our standard dinner fare, (along with the main course) for my family and I. We have three small children who also enjoy the comfort of Dan's music. Definately an album that reaches out to many different music lovers and many tastes. Thanks for breaking bread with us each night. We eagerly await his next effort. Consider this CD for a gift, it will be a one that won't be forgotten soon.
