Madly In Love
Product Description Jane Norman has created the ultimate music of love for her fans of all ages. Not since Nelson Riddle and Linda Ronstadt has there been a sensuous, romantic album of the calibre of Jane Norman's "Madly In Love." The CD is being heralded as one of the finest albums in the last 25 years. Singer, television personality Jane Norman,(better known to millions as the beloved PIXANNE), and Richard Rome, prominent arranger and pianist, have produced another gem. They've brought a fresh, new, contemporary sound to the romantic standards of Cole Porter, George Gershwin and other composers...who, if they were writing today, would probably say "Wow! That's the way I'd like my music to sound in the 21st century." The warm, expressive voice of Jane Norman is complimented by Rome's lush arrangements performed by 47 of the finest musicians in the country. "I'm Glad There Is You," "But Beautiful," "I Concentrate On You," "I Remember You," and "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" become provocative Bossa Novas that will make listeners feel they're hearing these songs for the first time. The title song "Madly In Love," written by Jane Norman and Richard Rome, brings Jazz Waltz to a new level of fun and artistry, while the pure magic of Gershwin is evident in Norman's and Rome's treatment of "I've Got A Crush On You." Classical music lovers savour the bonus track with Jane's concert rendition of "Full Moon and Empty Arms," based on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring pianist Richard Rome and the orchestra. The reason these wonderful love songs last, is that they tell stories that touch all our lives in a special way. Anyone who has ever been in love or hopes to be, will share the feelings that Jane sings about in "Madly In Love." Review "...that seasoned-professional confidence that puts the audience at ease. Every note will land where she wants it." -- Betty Francis, The Desert Sun, May 2002 "Norman's voice conveyed a style that is truly authentic, unreliant on flashy histronics or grand gestures." -- Jeff Britton, Desert Post Weekly, May 2002 We love "Madly In Love" and play cuts from the CD every day. The album redefines the meaning of romance. -- Larry Collin, KWXY, May 2002 From the Artist Recording "Madly In Love" with a 47 piece orchestra of world-class musicians was the most fulfilling experience of my life. The creativity of my arranger, Richard Rome, and the unique artistry of the musicians, brought to life the vision I had for an album of standards with a lush, yet contemporary new sound. Listeners seem to be enjoying and identifying with feelings of love I've tried to convey, and I hope I can touch your heart in the same way. Our original title song is receiving enthusiastic air-play, and maybe it will become one of your favorites, as well. Check out Ron Kerber's killer sax solos!
