"Wonderful Work!"
Product Description
You know the ones…not a cloud graces a sky so blue that it aches and the sun seems to sprinkle everything with magic dust. You've seen them in Winter when the sun flickers against a silvered landscape, in Spring, when the first brave flower bursts through the snow to feel the sun's warmth for the first time in a year, in Summer when the water glitters like gemstones and in Autumn, when Midas lurks around every tree and the slight chill in the air ignites our energies and reminds us of approaching Winter, completing the circle.
These Sapphire days are the standouts, the gems of our lives, which we should savor and treasure in our minds and hearts. But, if you really think about it, every single day has the potential to be a sapphire day, even without the blues and golds, for there is treasure everywhere, if you know how to look!
That's what the concept behind this album is.. So, I hope you will count the grains of sand, revel in the cotton candy floating overhead, see that which lies in the shadows, and reach to the stars while walking with the wind on a sapphire day!

A Rare Find.......2006-10-01
from Solo Piano Publications.......2004-05-20
I really like this whole album, but a few of the pieces are exceptional. "Walking With the WInd" opens the CD with a wistful, dreamy piece that is both leisurely and passionate. The title song is optimistic and graceful with an absolutely gorgeous melody. "Smoke" is a little moodier, and describes wispy swirls of smoke as they rise and float away as well as the surges of smokey billows - very effective! "In the Shadows" is also a bit darker than the other songs, but is so evocative - this is my favorite of the collection. It is very introspective and bittersweet - I love it!
"Sapphire Days" is Ann Sweeten's fifth album to date, but it is the first that I have heard. I'm really looking forward to getting better acquainted with this artist! Very highly recommended!
GREAT ACOUSTIC PIANIST WHO WRITES BEAUTIFUL MELODIES.......2004-03-26
Ann Sweeten, acoustic pianist, newest release "Sapphire Days.......2004-03-17
Her technique is classical on her original instrumental tunes, but in her melodies you can hear elements of pop music, jazz, new age, Broadway show tunes and film scores.
The sights and sounds of nature are woven throughout this beautifully composed CD.
Created in tribute to those precious, wonderful days.......2004-03-06
