Details:
Several years ago, Tami Kelly's husband, Patrick, began presenting custom written lullabies as gifts to the new babies in and around his life. In early 2007, friends celebrating the birth of twins received a lullaby for each baby. The father, an accomplished musician, pianist and singer, was so pleased and impressed with the songs that he told Patrick, "You should publish these!" That got Patrick thinking, and he began to write. He presented the idea of a lullaby CD to Tami that summer, along with the lyrics and music to the 14 songs presented here. Lullaby Dreams (www.lullabydreams.com) was born.

In recent years, the songs-for-children genre has been revitalized by artists who are creating music that is far more interesting than in the past. From the start of this project, Patrick and Tami wanted their CD to add to that revitalization and create music that adults would appreciate as much as children. As Patrick says, "We've tried to combine a rich harmonic structure with interesting yet singable melodies, all wrapped together in a smooth, light jazz style. Our goal was to weave a tapestry of bedtime imagery that will touch all who listen, and create a musical journey for the soul."

The "quite divine" voice singing these lullabies is Tami Kelly, often described as "a young Ella Fitzgerald." Tami's voice has a vibrant, exciting sound, and her smooth, lyrical style makes her performances fun and highly entertaining. Tami started performing professionally at age 21. She now performs with several combos throughout Israel, mainly in jazz, but also sings music from the 60s and some contemporary Israeli music. Whether she is singing a Cole Porter standard, a jazz interpretation of a contemporary song - or a Lullaby Dreams lullaby - we know you'll be as thrilled as all who hear her.

Here are just a few comments from listeners:

"Hi Tami and Patrick. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your lullaby disc. It is very professionally done. The songs are very "catchy," the arrangements are rich, and the whole thing just sounds right. Tami's voice is also great (but there is no "news" here...). I can also testify that the disc is quite effective. It took me 3 days to complete hearing it, simply because on the first two nights I fell asleep while listening. So, it works!" - Ari Erev, Composer and Pianist, from Israel - www.arierev.com

"Itay loves your disc very much (and so do we) ... Again today he fell asleep to its soothing sounds." - Michal from Israel

âThank you for this gift to our friends ... All of the arrangements are so gentle and soothing.â - Jane & Reed from Wisconsin

âI have two little grandsons - ages 2 and 3 - who will love the lullabies for Christmas this year. They don't stay little for long so I just couldn't wait!â - Candy from Florida

In addition to 13 more traditional lullabies, the first song on the disc, "Jazz Baby," grew into something more during the creation process. After all, every mom and dad knows the mix of emotions that arise on those nights when the baby is fussy and won't sleep, right? "Jazz Baby" tells the story of what one mother does when it's "half-past two" and she's been asking ... "What to do?"

Floating Off To Dreamland is much more than your average lullaby CD. It truly is a disc you'll find yourself slipping into the CD player in the morning as you fight rush hour traffic, and often late at night as you relax over a glass of wine in the flicker of candlelight.
