John Chiasson does an incredible job with some of my favorite jazz standards (Round Midnight, My One and Only Love, Stardust), and the title track just knocks me out.

Great job, John...

John Chiasson's "Here in the Moonlight" is a wonderful addition to your CD collection if you're a fan of jazz music or new-celtic. All of the songs on this CD are great to listen to. If you're a fan of The Rankins, you'll know John as the bass player for the band in recent years. Raylene Rankin makes an appearance on this CD with a soft gentle sound on "Misty" which is definitly worth hearing. Look forward to hearing more from John in the future. 5 stars for this CD.

"Here in the Moonlight", John Chaisson's debut CD, is a strong reminder that if you delve beyond the Celtic in Nova Scotia, you will also find a Jazz scene brimmming with top notch musicians, writers and arrangers. John Chaisson has selected a special blend of musicians for his CD who are adept at complimenting each other, and creating music that is free to move and flow behind Johns vocals. John Chaisson has a smooth soulful singing style perfectly suited to the genre. The many well known standards on his CD are kept well within the listeners comfort zone, yet they will recognize the newness brought to the songs with Johns phrasing and seasoned interpetations. The song, "Here in the Moonlight", is a treat by itself and the music video is one of the most tasteful in the industry.

This original song was so fresh and thought provoking. It is so soothing to listen to. John's voice has perfect pitch. Hope to hear more original stuff soon.....

I really enjoy this CD. It has a warm and mellow sound and is relaxing to listen to. Excellent performance and keep me on the list for the next one!
