What People Are Saying...

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
