This is something that Zola Van fans have been waiting for.
A new Zola Van CD is always like a breath of fresh spring air and this CD is no exception.
You can almost see Zola's fingers flying over the keyboard as you listen to this fine collection of memories.
These songs are especially meaningful to many of us.
Of course, all of Zola's fans will be waiting for the followup CD.
Kudos to Zola for another wonderful performance.

This review is from: Piano Bouquet...Songs for My Father (Audio CD)

"There is incredible strength and resilience in the generation that preceded us. This strength is reflected in the music of this generation that has the power to take us away to far off places and times; it's more than music. These songs are reminders of a passionate era gone by but not to be forgotten." ~ Zola Van

Zola Van selected beautiful memories from the American songbook for this collection. Piano Bouquet is a breathlessly beautiful collection of music celebrating music by Irving Gordon, George Gershwin, Frank Loesser, Harvey Schmidt and Sammy Fain.

"Hey There" has a beautiful sense of elegance and yet still embodies an energetic fusion of moods. "Tammy" has delicate flourishes and shimmering emotions. "Try to Remember" is infused with nostalgia. "Song For My Father" is an original composition by Zola Van and is a truly heartfelt piece born of her respect and admiration for her father.

Zola Van captures a delicate beauty in her new album. Each selection mingles perfectly and promotes a sense of peace and wonder. Like a well-chosen flower arrangement, this would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves piano and is an essential Zola Van CD.
