Brief description: Dr. Linda Atlas Reese is one of the most eclectic performers recording today. Her 1st album, 2 Grands 4 Christmas released in 2008, was a collaboration with Elton John's rehearsal stand in to record 4 hands on 2 pianos and create a symphony of sound, the likes of which have never been heard before.
A Grand World is her 5th album and was released in preparation for the Movieguide Gala. Dr. Reese has chosen to record all her albums exclusively on the Bosendorfer piano.
That album contains compositions of different composers as well as Dr.Linda Reese herself. The composition - Sunset - is a preview of an album of originals by Dr. Linda Reese. It has only taken Dr. Reese 16 years of marriage and practicing for this album to discover that - Some Enchanted Evening - is her husband´s favorite song. And - Gigi - is dedicated to her two amazing daughters, Brittany and Julianna, who are growing into such fine, lovely ladies before her very eyes.

Brief description: This CD can, in many ways, be considered Dr. Linda Reese her first! For years she played the piano that was in her children´s room as they went to sleep.
The order of songs was influenced by both her studies in music therapy and her experience with her own children. She found that when children were desperately trying to use their last once of energy and bouncing off the walls, they ignored the soft lullaby music. It seemed that if she scould create the chaos externally that they were feeling internally, it "neutralized" the chaos and they were able to settle.
Dr. Linda Reese is one of the most eclectic and prolific performers recording today. 2 Grands 4 Little Ones is her 4th album to be released in 2009.
Adam Chester has been referred to as "Elton John´s Surrogate" and he performed on tour with the Elton John band on several occasions as well. His original music has been featured in many television shows and feature films, and he´s also known around Los Angeles as the music director for various theater shows.

Brief description: Dr. Linda reese: "Come play with me! This simple, childlike request transformed a Christmas present for my family into a present for all of you. For years, every night I played the same five songs on the piano in my children´s room while they went to sllep. In December, ´06, my intent was to record those songs as a Christmas present for my family. While recording in a room with four pianos, Adam Chester walked by and pleaded "Come play with me!" I instantly fell in love with the sound. Here, as a bonus track - O Holy Night - you can hear the song that hooked me. O Holy Night was the first song we played together. I hope you enjoy it; talking and laughing, and all."

Brief description: 2 Grands 4 Glory is the third CD of Dr. Linda Reese since returning to her first passion, music. Linda was 12 years old when she astonished her piano teacher by playing an additional bass line with her left foot. At 16, she played the virtuosic piece Brandenburg Concerto #5 (with both feet on the floor) and then went on to double major in music and psychology at Bowdoin College, in beautiful Maine.
Linda´s recent awards include 2007 Coach of the Year for West Side Little League, Fort Worth.
Since Linda found Adam Chester, she is thrilled to get the sound she has yearned for without using her feet.
