Customer Rating:      Summary: We love this CD! Comment: My boys are 3 & 4 years old. I received this CD as a gift when I had my first child and had to buy my 2nd a copy for his room too. We have played it every night since each of them was born. It is the most relaxing and beautiful CD.
Last year I moved to Australia and the CD would not work in Australian CD players. I bought other lullaby CD's and they all were awful compared to this one. After trying to contact the artist to see if they had an Australian region CD-- I finally ended up burning the CD's so I could play them on my Australian CD players.
I cannot recommend this CD enough. Great baby gift, it will be listened to for years.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Compilation Comment: Maybe I didn't read the description close enough, but I got the impression this album was all Dave Koz, instead it seems like a compilation with Koz on maybe three tracks at most. There's some nice pieces on it (Isn't She Lovely stands out) but overall I really wanted more of a saxophone type album.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Soothing Cd - Highly Recommend Comment: This CD is great! I enjoy listening to it and my daughter quickly falls asleep:)
Customer Rating:      Summary: sweet sweet sounds Comment: This is a lovely and soothing CD, full of familiar songs that will tug on your heartstrings. I bought it after reading the many reviews, but also after sampling the "Isn't She Lovely" cover; it is truly the most beautiful rendering of an already perfect song. Took me 3 weeks of listening to it to stop crying upon hearing it played. This is a sure bet.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Tear Jerker Comment: I received this cd as a gift when I was pregnant with my first son 4 years ago. I listened to it start to finish every day, at least twice through, for the first year of his life. It always put him to sleep, and usually knocked me out, too! In fact, I didn't play it so much with my second baby because I didn't want to risk falling asleep with a toddler in the house! It's also dangerous in the car for obvious reasons. Unlike other lullaby cds I've tried, it soothes you rather than bores you to sleep. Don't be put off if you are not a jazz fan, either. I'm definitely not, but I really enjoyed this nonetheless. Regular users be forewarned--a few years down the road you will NOT be able to listen to a minute of it without crying!

This is a real sleeper of an album, literally. Smooth-jazz musicians--including Peter White, Dave Koz, Norman Brown, David Benoit, and others--play music here to put babies to sleep. Fans of New Age music, specifically what came out of the Pacific Northwest in the '80s, may find many of these 14 tracks reminiscent of that period. Long-time listeners of smooth-jazz radio may be reminded of the kind of ethereal, spacey music that was played in the early days of the format. Many of the songs are as obvious as Brian Culbertson's somnambulating "Brahms' Lullaby" and Koz's "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," but some are inspired choices with creative arrangements and strong performances. Koz and his brother Jeff shine on the Beatles' title tune and the other Lennon/McCartney chestnut, "Blackbird." Brown's take on James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes" is also moving, while not straying from the stillness of the concept. Perhaps the standout track is the superb performance of vocalist John Stoddart on Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." --Mark Ruffin
