Editorial Reviews
Blending acoustic folk and pop styles, Jim has captured the character and color of his 20-plus years as a church musician, father, and husband in his new release "The Best Is Yet To Come". Packed with twelve original songs, his music will give you a lift - reminding you that a wonderful future is waiting for all those who hope in Christ. Whether its the refreshing honesty of his lyrics or the purity of his acoustic guitar, here is an artist and a project worthy of your attention. His reviews explain it this way - "this music keeps me looking for a bright future" and "Jims voice is very clear and quite comforting to listen to".
Jim graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in Music Education and spent four summers at Interlochen National Music Camp from 1970-73. He toured the Midwest and Canada in the late seventies with "Daystar", singing and playing rhythm guitar. More recently his folk and light jazz trio "Triad" was part of the Central Ohio coffeehouse scene. Jim has been singing and playing in his local church since 1976. He is currently Music Director at Linworth Community Church in Worthington, Ohio where he oversees a choir, worship band and assists with event programming. Jim is married and has two grown daughters. Whatever your special event requires in the way of acoustic guitar and singing Jim offers a high level of professionalism and unique depth of character uncommon in the performing arts. His is the "Music That Lifts You Up".
Product Description:
Jim's music is in the folk genre with a few country and pop influences. Mostly guitar based (there are occasional drums and keys), these acoustic songs contemplate the daily experience of living the Christian faith, using a strong scriptural base. Jim is confidant of our God, and his music serves as an encouragement. Imagine yourself at a church or community event with a local Christian artist performing simple, yet appealing songs of faith and joy. That artist is Jim Snedeker, with music to lift you up. Friendly and informal, you can imagine Jim smiling as he sings.

Grover Grooves .......2005-05-12
I own most of Grover's work with the exception of Mister Magic.
Inner City Blues is my favorite though, it rivals the original.
This record, The Best Is Yet To Come isn't properly titled.
"It just doesn't get any better than this," is what I said after I listened to the title track. Patti Labelle and Grover sound heavenly. This is definitly one of the jewels Grover left us.
It made me realize how great he was and how much he'll be missed.
The album sleeve is a fantastic photo of him worthy to be framed.
Absolutely the Greatest!!!.......2004-02-28
Anyway, enjoy the album...and don't hesitate to get it if you haven't already!!! He's a musical genius and you must ...ABSOLUTELY MUST experience him!!!

Long ago and far away.......2001-06-30
Fantastic art cover (so does Come Morning), smooth sounds and most importantly the final tune called "Cassie & Co". As a soundtrack for a tv series that I never saw, it captured what I felt about the longing of home. It was sad, chilly but also comforting that somebody out there knew exactly what I felt. The experience of smelling the autumn air, and the taste of September wind just brought back all those memories.
Most importantly out of nowhere, I dug this album yesterday and as I was laying on my bed, eyes closed, drifted in pure bliss. I thought about those school breaks and how often I played this album. I realize how beautiful it is. I also realize how I miss those days.
It's too bad when I looked up this album on Amazon, nobody wrote a review so I shared my feelings about this album. Sometimes good things will come for those who wait, because deep inside we always know that "The Best Is Yet To Come"!

Michael Feinstein with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

If there's a precious tone to Michael Feinstein's interpretations of the American songbook, it probably stems from a fervent dedication to preserving the original context of his material. This is, after all, a musician who spent many of his formative years in personal service to the late Ira Gershwin. This collection further underscores that commitment, with the lush sound of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (augmented by the piano trio of Alan Broadbent, who also provides all but one of the arrangements here) adding considerable dramatic resonance to Feinstein's performances.While singers from Sinatra and Streisand to Fitzgerald and Bennett have imbued many of these songs with considerable dollops of jazz, blues, and their own strong personas, Feinstein mines melancholy jewels like "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year," "How Deep Is the Ocean," and "By Myself" for all their introspective emotion. "Somewhere" pays tribute to Bernstein with glorious, unabashed melodrama, while "Laura" (one of the most recorded songs of all time) gets recast in something approaching its original intent via an arrangement written for this recording by composer David Raksin. Feinstein himself penned the album's notes, paying careful tribute to each composer represented and noting that all were Jews, yet their music came to represent a richly American spectrum that included black and white and encompassed jazz, the theater, and even classics in its scope. There's a lesson herein, and one that spans more than mere history and musical archaeology. --Jerry McCulley

Musical Wit in an Orchestral Setting.......2004-01-04
A Cabaret Singer Grows Up.......2003-03-14
Like Coward, Mr. Feinstein seems to understand the power of popular, romantic song when flung into the void of an apparently cold universe by an all too human, understated voice...I first heard Michael Feinstein sing and play the piano umpteen years ago in the mad, bad '80s. At that time, I found his choice of material from the great 20th Century American composers refreshing & interesting, his skills as a pianist were good, and his diction to be above average. Yet his voice at that time was a bit weak--there was too much bravura nonsense, too much vibrato and he may have been too young for some of the songs that he sang at the time.
Well, we've both matured, (I hope), and Mr. Feinstein has delivered a remarkably smooth, yet heartfelt performance on this album. I'm particularly impressed by his vocal smoothness and emotional restraint, especially on "Love is Here to Stay", "How Deep Is the Ocean", "Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year" & "I Won't Send Roses". Mr. Feinstein appears to really understand the depth of feeling that these words and music evoke in him and us. The vibrato is there when needed, but the ripeness of a mature singer is beginning to be heard on his recordings and the Israeli Philharmonic simply gives his singing wings. The only song that doesn't seem to fit is "Stormy Weather"--I kept hearing Lena Horne in my mind's ear, rather than a polished cabaret singer. I hope that Feinstein continues to grow in vocal power and subtlety as he does here. A lovely album for sophisticated romantics.
This cd is about average, it could have been better.......2002-08-18
I know it is hard to always be creative. There are just so many ideas to go around and then you have to start duplicating others. This is known as copying what others have done.
For this cd I felt like some of the arrangements were too long. For example, Laura as it was performed hear is a six minute song. It really should have been done in two minutes. I'm an engineer and I edited this version of Laura to run two minutes and it is just perfect. Sometimes less is really more. Also, I felt that some of the other songs didn't really have top notch arrangements attached to them. If the arrangements would have been better I whould have had no choice but to bring out the 5 star rating for this project.
To talk a little bit about the voice of Michael is my pleasure. His voice seems to be getting better with age. I have always liked Michael's voice and will continue to do so.
I will give this cd a favorable recommendation!
Fabulously Fantastic!.......2002-07-21
Michael has done it again.......2002-07-12
If there is one thing you can say about Michael Feinstein it's that he knows how to put over a song. His new cd is absolutely magnificent, these are the only words to describe it.
Somewhere, By Myself, Stormy Weather and the rest of the songs are beyond compare. Do yourself a big, big favour and don't miss out on this cd; you'll love it.

Despite accompanying a comedy with a nicely hot-cha-cha premise--Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as gold-digger con artists--this soundtrack disc offers very little in the way of truly saucy music. Besides Alison Krauss's take on "Baby, Now That I've Found You," three Antonio Carlos Jobim classics performed by Astrud Gilberto, Sarah Vaughan, and a stiff Susannah McCorkle are about the only suggestion of real sex here. The What Women Want CD offered Sinatra and Bennett, so why the third-rate lounge-act version (by Michael Andrew and Swingerhead) of "The Best Is Yet to Come" included here? That's not to mention the snooze-inducing singer-songwriter tracks (Shawn Colvin, Inara George & Bryony Atkinson) that amount to musical non sequiturs. A puzzling album, at best. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
