Details:
âA Chance to Dreamâ, Tajciâs new lullaby album is finally ready to ship. The new CD includes 15 new recordings for bedtime listening. The disc features new compositions, some old favorites, some traditional tunes from Tajciâs own childhood in Croatia, and a new take on a favorite Gershwin classic.

According to Tajci, the album is âdedicated to all the kids out thereâ big and small, boys and girlsâ and their parents, who never cease to be excited about bed-time stories and lullabies.â

New songs penned by Tajci include âGeorgeâ, âWynken, Blynken and Nodâ, âNi-na Na-naâ and âLittle Oneâ. Traditional favorites include âAll the Pretty Little Horsesâ, âHush Little Babyâ, âRaisins and Almondsâ and a couple of Disney classicsâ âFeed the Birdsâ and âA Dream is a Wishâ. Tajci has re-interpreted the usually steamy Gershwin standard âSummertimeâ to highlight the gentle, nurturing side of the lyrics.

Those who follow Tajci closely have been hearing about this project for some time now. What started out as a ânice little projectââbegun when her newest baby, Blais, was still in the wombâ turned into something much larger. Working with longtime collaborator, producer Denny Bouchard, Tajci has been writing, arranging and recording this project for two years. In the process, it became her most elaborate recording (with sessions in Los Angeles, Chicago and Cincinnati)... and her most satisfying.

This project also marks the first collaboration between Tajci and engineer Erwin Musper, who also mastered the final recording. Musper, a respected veteran of the music industry who has worked with the likes of David Bowie and Elton John, has captured all the beauty and clarity of Tajci's voice.

"A Chance to Dream" is Tajci's most polished recording to date, with arrangements and instrumentation that not only fit the songs, but highlight and complement her remarkable voice. The piano, guitar and strings are georgeous, and there are tasty little instrumental treats around every turn. Even the packaging is sumptuous, with beautiful photos and a fold-out jacket design by Jack Gorton, featuring Tajci's moon and stars doodles. The love and care that went into this project are obvious from the first notes. It's music that is sure to make many a child's bedtime memories last a lifetime.
