5.0 out of 5 stars Jill Cohn is emotionally daring without being pretentious., March 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Laughing Universe (Audio CD)

I am David Eaton, Producer of Jill Cohn's THE LAUGHING UNIVERSE. The fact that this record was recorded as a benefit concert is a testimant, in and of itself, to Jill's empathic nature. This nature is reflected in her self exploration, and emphasized by the stark solitude of, the solo performances of the songs contained herein. Jill is gifted with the ability to explore issues and, to the benefit of all of us, portray the pain and conquest comon to the human experience - she is a voice for many who remain silent in their struggles.

As you look at Jill's work, you will find equal acceptance of success and failings - the balance of life - both taken from a delightful and most thoughtful perspective. I am sure that everyone has something to gain from Jill's art.

We recorded THE LAUGHING UNIVERSE with one goal in mind, to make an album that would capture Jill's emotional intesity and move people. With the tremendous sales and its contribution to empowering Jill's non-stop touring, I am very proud to be associated with this record. For even without the sales success that it has enjoyed, we achieved our goal. We captured an innocent and potentially vulnerable moment in the sure-to-be-long career of one of the West Coast's brightest stars.

Thank you to the many people who have expressed such wonderful experiences from owning THE LAUGHING UNIVERSE.

Jill sounds so incredible live on this recording. Unfortunately I have yet to have the pleasure of seeing her live. Needless to say I can't wait. My favorite song far and away is "Promising Rainbows". It just has a certain quality about it that I can't resist. Jill's voice is so beautiful and moving. Her ability as a pianist is also featured in every song here. The song "We Know" is so wonderfully done that it gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. If you haven't heard Jill Cohn I urge you to go out and buy The Laughing Universe. Her other three albums are also very highly recommended. 13September6, Songs from the BlueBus, and The absence of moving are must haves in any music lover's collection.
