Hope and Purpose.......2003-05-06

This CD is exceptional. The music is touched with a clarity not heard elsewhere. The musicians interact with one another as though engaged in stimulating conversation. They are one. They are music at its soul-lifting, spirit-tingling finest. I've listened to Ms. Taylor's amazing rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" a dozen times and it never fails to bring me to tears. It is not simply the words themselves -- after all, I've heard "Imagine" sung many times before by other artists -- but rather it is her ability to animate the words, to bring them life. The courage of her voice wills them into being more than simply lyrics, but rather a state of definite possibility. Yes, friend, those are chills you feel washing over you. Suddenly, it is not so hard to imagine a future of hope and purpose. Thank you, Joani Taylor, Bob Murphy and everyone who worked to make such a spectacular CD!
