    “It is difficult, for once, to decide which is most impressive in terms of the mechanics of the release itself: the recording or the performance. There is no doubting Bellor\u2019s talent over and above all that, of course. Her music, as was the case with Oneira<\/em>, walks the perilous tightrope that exists between approachability and sophistication. It is also worth noting that this is layered music: one listening might be a lovely experience, but the profundities only reveal themselves after multiple hearings. And that, surely, is the very definition of truly good, worthwhile music. ” (Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “In Catching Clouds, Jennifer Bellor masterfully bridges her deep classical roots with the fluid spontaneity of jazz. From the immediate, magical pull of the piano to the progressive fusion of the saxophone and bowed vibraphone, this album is more than a recording\u2014it is a vivid narrative of sound and color. Bellor and her ensemble have crafted a contemporary masterwork that feels as much like an unfolding stage play as it does a sophisticated musical suite.” – Keith \u201cMuzikMan\u201d Hannaleck, New Age Music Reviews<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
