Reviews & Comments about our debut cd
"A surprising yet continually delightful collection of extraordinary tracks showcasing the
formidable talents of some of the most brilliantly creative artists I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. At once
esoteric and yet completely accessible, this collection seduces the ear as well as the imagination, painting musical landscapes
that one wants to visit again and again - knowing that each subsequent visit will reveal new textures and surprises along
the way.
My favorite tracks are the ones in which Broadway Soprano Kelly Ellenwood's remarkable and
brilliantly expressive voice is showcased - particularly exquisite are "My Ship" and "I'm A Stranger Here Myself" where her
radiant voice is matched with her profound story-telling abilities and both are perfectly featured in glorious arrangements
that always support and never overpower. Stunning. Simply stunning."

"I have
reached an age and a stage whereby I judge music and music-making by whether or not I'd like to hear it again or would I rather
go to the movies. I am happy to say that Madera Vox is something I will listen to over and over again. Its charm, its wistfulness,
its juxtaposition of the "classical" to the non-classical is refreshing and seductive. The players are terrific."
