About
"The Jazz in Me"
"From the time Eric
Copeland created "Cooler" in 1999, I hoped for another CD
from him with the same innovative blend of mellow reverence
and uplifting energy, so I was delighted to learn about "The
Jazz in Me." I'm not disappointed in this new release, because
it's everything I was anticipating (the long wait has been
surely worth it!). Eric's jazzy tunes are fresh, buoyant,
and his improvisational gifts have reached new heights. The
title track, with its joyously self-deprecating mood, never
fails to boost my spirit, and "My Steps Are Ordered" has such
a captivating rhythm that I find myself humming it on my morning
walks, feeling a bit closer to the Lord. What more can I say?"
- John Andrew Dixon
"I love this album!
It brings a certain peace to me. Some of the songs remind
me of joy." - J
"This is the kind
of jazz music that makes one want to get up and move. From
the first tune to the last the music has a groove that is
just awesome. Eric is remarkable on the keyboards, and has
surrounded himself with musicians that only make the music
come alive even more. Great stuff here. If you call yourself
a jazz music fan, then "The Jazz in Me" is a collection
of tunes you just add to your collection." D. T. Wright
"A very well produced
CD. His spirit shines on this." - Joe Livingston
"Not only a joy to
listen to the thrilling sounds of jazz, but uplifting lyrics
you will want to hear again and again. Great mix of the old
and the new!" - Donna Carlin
"My first impression
of this album was that it's a great blend of songs, and would
make a road trip much shorter. My second impression is that
Eric is more than a musician...he's an artist. Take your time
listening to this album!" - Tony Scialdone
"Soulful, jazzy,
smooth, funky and bluesy mixed in good proportion. The Jazz
In Me is a must for any contemporary jazz music collector.
The sound is clear and real - at last no drum-machines or
synth-basses! Those who like comparisons might call Eric Copeland
(another) Jeff Lorber, though he is certainly not an imitator
but an original and inspirational composer and performer.
I hope his next album will not take so long to be released!"
- Alexandr Boev
About
"Stolen Moments"
"Sir, you are a well
kept secret that needs to be exposed to everyone! The message
is great and the delivery is awesome." - Dahn Brown
"Deep in Nashville's
music scene is a music producer who is playing not Country
music, but Smooth Jazz. Eric Copeland is an accomplished pianist
with a self owned record label. Copeland's 2nd release is
called, "Stolen Moments". His music will remind
you of Tom Grant and David Benoit. His music is free-flowing
and easy to listen to, classic easy listening music. - Mike
James, Smooth Jazz and More

how much I've totally been amazed and enjoyed just starting
to listen to your work. Gorgeous stuff and totally right up
my alley of musical passion. Where have you been all this
time??!!" - John Carlson, 2007 Christian Jazz Artist
of the Year
"Cooler is a smooth
blend of silky vocals and jazzy instrumentation. A perfect
accompaniment to wind down after a long day or for quiet times
with the Lord." - Don Culpepper, Producer Heavenly Notes
