A
re-release of envisage recently made the Billboard Jazz Charts,
remaining for many months. With Jay are Milt Hinton on bass and Bob Rosengarden
on drums.
In "Envisage" we experience "a direct example
of Jay's "feel" and easy connection with the highly noted members
of the trio, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Bob Rosengarden. We hear the
communication that is the nexus of jazz ensemble performance, providing an
effortless listening experience."

Jay
D'Amico affords each piece a polished conception: you can follow the thread
through the arranged fabric.
Fred
Bouchard, Down Beat
Exquisite
solo piano renderings by the enormously creative and talented Jay D'Amico. Putting
this in your CD player is an ideal way to treat yourself to a relaxing and enjoyable
musical experience.
"Jay
D'Amico has been dazzling our audiences for the past five years and has become
a permanent fixture at Windows on the World."
Toni
Aigner, President, Windows on the World
"Jay
D'Amico displays an exquisite touch, impeccable timing, and a remarkable sense
of harmonic inventiveness. He is one of the most promising young pianists around
today. "
Mike
Longo
"Jay
D'Amico plays piano with a gossamer touch and canny sense of style . . . there
is a certain shapeliness to each solo and a tangible sense of touch, like good
sculpture."
Fred
Bouchard, Downbeat
"A
combination of two types of classical music. The European arias of the Italian
opera are interpreted with the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic elements of jazz."
Jay
D'Amico
"Truly
a unique combination of Italian classics and American Jazz. Jay's remarkably
sensitive playing is displayed here in a perfect setting."
Milt
Hinton
"While
on rare occasions others have attempted to integrate these disparate musical
forms, no one has been as successful as Jay in using distinct signatures from
each-- strings and drums--and presenting just the right balance of melody and
improvisation in his arrangements."
David
G. Berger
"The
proof that ["Ponte Novello"] was successful is that we discover new
things in the original compositions inspired by his contemporary, daring and
yet deeply respectful readings."

Martinelli
