NYC Jazz Pianist Sarah Jane Cion Presents New Lullaby CD

Uniquely creative award-winning jazz pianist Sarah Jane Cion offers deliciously delightful melodic soothing tranquil lullabies - assuredly to lull your infant to absolute repose.

These 17 individual ballads, modeled after Bach's Well -Tempered Clavier (one in every major key and six minor keys) provide an hours' worth of pure peacefulness as well as a lifetime of musical pleasure.

Beautifully illustrated by well-known children's artist Amit Tranin, Cion's poetry also graces the inner panels of the booklet. A fresh bouquet not to be missed!
