5.0 out of 5 stars Music to stir the soul!, August 26, 2003

I had never heard of Tim Janis, nor his music until I walked past a booth of musicians at the Gloucester Waterfront festival a few weeks ago..two members of his staff were playing his composition "High Sierra" which captivated me immediately, I stopped and bought the CD from the nice young man selling them..who turned out to be Tim himself..chatted a few minutes and realized he was a very special person who had a great gift to give to the world in his music. The two musicians played another number from Acadia, I promptly bought this also, thinking Tim from Newfoundland..but no, from the beautiful seacoast village of Kennebunk Maine. On logging in to the internet at home I looked at his website and read the many amazing things he has done with his music in helping people with cancer and AIDS. I am sending two of his discs to a friend in England who is suffering from cancer hoping they will ease her days a bit. This beautiful music has the ability to lift ones heart and ease physical and emotional pain. I found myself so touched by it Im sure anyone who hears it will agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Visual Experience, January 19, 2000

By

This review is from: December Morning (Audio CD)

I first listened to this album because a friend could not stop talking about Tim Janis. Although I usually listen to pop, rock and jazz music, I gave it a listen. I was immediately drawn in. Wow. These arrangements are far more mature, more refined, and more powerful than one would ever expect from such a young composer. The harmonic weaving of orchestral textures rolls over you like ocean waves, picking you up and transporting you to a wonderful place. And the flute is literally some of the best I have heard. Over the last few weeks, it has become my favorite new album, and I expect Mr. Janis will not be one of the best kept secrets for very long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stressed Out No More, April 25, 2001

I recently purchased both Water's Edge and December Morning and I love it! I travel a great deal on the road, so the soft and gentle sound that Tim Janis is able to capture through his music is so relaxing. I stay stressed out most of the time when on the road, but just listening to his music, I'm able to relax and enjoy the ride. I'd advise anyone who stays stressed out like me to purchase his CD's. They will really make a difference. Thank you Tim for your wonderful talent!
