5 out of 5 stars Come Be Transported.......2006-10-26

I have never been to New England physically, but I've been there in soul.

I discovered this instrumental CD in the fall of 2000 and have been entranced by it ever since. The music is sentimental but also sincere and moving. The melodies and arrangements are evocative of a far-away place that is somehow familiar, warm and welcoming. You lose yourself in these recordings.

While some of the songs might be labeled as smooth jazz, the many variations in mood allow it to become more of a mental and emotional journey for the listener. Your mind's eye will take you traveling over the rocky coasts of America's eastern seaboard, and perhaps England, Scotland, or Ireland.

"A Ship A-Sailing" sets the tone at the very beginning. Its comforting rhythym places you on the waves, perhaps awakening to a warm sunrise aboard a boat rocking gently at some quiet dock. "Farewell to Mystic Harbor" is at first melancholy then hopeful and consoling. "Sounds of the Sea" features a penny whistle (flute) that takes you to sea enveloped in a gentle waltz.

The middle selections highlight more of David's piano work in various styles, from nature's stillness on "Pale Rain" to a late-night dance floor shuffle on "An American Idyll" to an uptempo, vaguely latin beat on "Back Roads".

In the end, he returns us to the seashore with the reassuring beauty of "We'll Go No More A-Rowing" and then finally tucks us in for the night with the lullaby, "Evening Clouds".

David Huntsinger wrote and arranged the music on this CD and his keyboard work is featured on every cut, however he is accompanied by several excellent musicians whose acoustic instruments make marvelous contributions to the overall effect. Lush strings add richness on a few tracks while flute, cello, harp, soprano sax, string bass and even bongos are also blended into the mix here and there. David also makes skillful use of multiple changes in tempo, dynamics and instrumentation to add interest and complexity.

There is a small, beautiful, seaport town here in Washington State called Port Townsend that is as close to a small New England town as we can get within an hour of Seattle. My wife and I play this CD nearly every time we travel there, to unwind and set the tone for the weekend. After nearly six years we never tire of its mood. For us, David's music has become as much a part of our getaway as the trip itself.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful & Relaxing...a work of impeccable musicianship.......2006-09-11

(Copy of my Epinions review from 2005) I've owned this CD for about 4 years now...it is definitely one of my favorites and was "love at first listen!" As a musician I'm always looking for new and interesting works to listen to and I enjoy finding them in odd places, which is where I found this gem of a recording--my local dollar store, so I really feel I got one of the best bargains ever! The jewel case caught my attention because my favorite season is Autumn--it is also my name--and I love the East Coast and its New England states, plus I have a secret passion for lighthouses which is pictured on the back cover.

The music is well-written, each piece telling a story through its sequence of notes and carefully placed phrasings...every nuance, lilt, and dynamic change enhances the story...light yet interesting use of counterpoint sprinkled throughout. The instrumentation used to accompany the piano playing of David Huntsinger is often sumptuous, rich and dreamy, whether it be many instruments or just a few--the balance is perfect. The musicians and arrangers that assist Huntsinger on his album are some of the very best, such as Jack Jezzro, Cindy Wyatt, and David Clydesdale. Huntsinger blends light jazz and classical stylings seamlessly on this recording. If I had to categorize this recording, I'd list it as "Contemporary" Easy Listening.

This music has the ability to always calm and relax me. I listen to it at work and home. I played it for a coworker who was looking for something different and relaxing. He immediately liked it and wanted the CD...fortunately I was able to purchase a copy for him--it was the last copy sold at the store. I'm 48 and have played this recording for my 81 year old mother, 26-year-old niece, as well as my 7-year-old niece and each of them enjoys this recording! I've also played it for many friends, musicians and non-, male and female...all have enjoyed it. I think it would appeal to anyone who is looking to relax both their mind and body.

Huntsinger's talent shines through brilliantly on this recording...well worth the price, at whatever price you're able to purchase it, should you be able to find the recording!

4 out of 5 stars An Autumn Masterpiece.......2006-09-05

This 1995 CD is a masterpiece. Listen. The music will take you there. Feel the autumn breeze, virtually watch the leaves change color and stroll a wooded New England lane. I can't imagine experiencing Autumn without this CD.

A Ship A-Sailing: "I saw a ship a-sailing, a-sailing on the sea, And it was deeply laden with pretty things for me. There were comfits in the cabin and almonds in the hold. The sails were made of satin and the mast it was of gold." - A New England lullaby of English origin.

Farewell To Mystic Harbor: "Mystic, CT is a very old seaside village poised on the mouth of the Mystic River. Its trim white houses and restored waterfront evoke visions of its glorious past as a bustling maritime community. Once a seaport from which locally-built clipper ships sailed to San Francisco during the 1849 Gold Rush. Mystic is still a beautiful starting point for a romantic sailing adventure."

The Sound Of The Sea: "The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The truth of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace." Katie Chopin (1852-1904): In The Awakening

October Sends a Favorable Wind: "Whichever way the wind doth blow, Some heart is glad to have it so; Then blow it east or blow it west, The wind that blows, that wind is best." - Caroline Atherton Mason (1823-1890): from Whichever Way The Wind Doth Blow.

A Pale Rain: "And who art thou? said to the soft-falling shower. Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer..." - Walt Whitman (1819-1892): from The Voice of the Rain.

The Persistence Of Memory: "Memory...is the diary that we carry about with us." - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900): from The Importance of Being Earnest.

The View From Nauset Light: "Lead, kindly Light amid the encircling gloom. Lead Thou me on: the night is dark and I am far from home." - John Henry Newman: from Lead Kindly Light (1834). "The top of the lighthouse provides a magnificently peaceful view which fills the soul with a sense of the infinite mother ocean. And yet how small and vulnerable even the largest sailing craft is upon it when a night fog rolls in or a storm threatens. The old lighthouse keepers knew this well and certainly were entrusted with a sacred responsibility."

The Trees Weep Leaves: "The trees weep leaves And the wind whispers winter. The shrill Autumn breeze reaps a harvest of the heart;Yearning for Septembers gone by, We mortals also cry. Lamenting Summer's end, And bowing our withering branches to the wind We mourn our losses - The old loves and old friends Who've fallen away one by one Like crimson, ocherous petals- As the trees weep leaves And the Wind Whispers Winter." - Bonnie Huntsinger: The Trees Weep Leaves

An American Idyll: "O suns and skies and clouds of June, And flowers of June together, Ye cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather." - Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885): from October's Bright Blue Weather.

Autumn Dreamcatcher: "A dreamcatcher if the handwork of certain Native American peoples. Its purpose is practical: catching nightmares. A willow branch or grapevine is twisted into a circle over which a net is woven, then bejeweled with turquoise or other stones and decorated with hanging leather strips and feathers. Good and bad dreams travel together through the night air: but the dreamcatcher, suspended over a child's bed, allows only the good creams to pass through the center of the net."

Back Roads: "Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose." - Walt Whitman (1829-1892): from Song of the Open Road.

We'll Go No More A-roving: "So we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night. Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And Love itself have rest. - Loyd Byron (1788-1824): from So We'll Go No More A-Roving. "Byron based his poem on the refrain of the ancient Scottish song recorded here. The tune migrated to New England where sailors sang bawdy, new words to it under the title Amsterdam."

Evening Clouds: "Finally home. Even the most perfect journey must come to an end; and home is once again a most perfect place from which to view a beautiful sunset sky."

The music is lively and beautiful on this album. I play it over and over when I need a lift.

5 out of 5 stars Splendid!!!.......2005-09-21

I originally bought this CD in a Bargain bin at a music store locally. After hearing it I could not believe that I only paid $3.00 for it. The cello solos are just the ultimate when it comes to relaxtion. Later I had also found another CD by the same artist by the name of - I think it was "New England Sundrise" Tragically enough I lost that CD and hoped that another one would turn up somewhere. Anyways, this CD is the ultimate when you just want something to sooth your nerves!

I would give it zero stars but i cant if you are looking for david huntsinger go to davidhuntsinger dot com

5 out of 5 stars There are TWO Autumn In New England CDs.......2003-12-06

Warning: if you are looking for David Huntsinger's AUTUMN IN NEW ENGLAND, the MUSIC CD, look for the cover with the MAPLE LEAF. That is the only cover that has David's wonderrful, relaxing and transcendant music, popular now for almost a decade.

A different AUTUMN IN NEW ENGLAND CD features a photo of a white church in a fall woods. THIS IS A SOUND EFFECTS CD, crunching leaves, brooks etc. THERE IS NO MUSIC ON THIS CD and it has nothing to do with David Huntsinger's music.

Many websites confuse the two projects: they'll show the SFX CD and then talk about David Huntsinger's music.

The CD is hard to find but David can help you if you contact him in Nashville, TN.

4 out of 5 stars First instincts proven.......2002-07-03

Little did I know I would fall in love with the piano sounds of David Huntsinger. Many times this CD has soothed this savage beast while on the freeways of stress or lulled me into the beauty of New England's autumn dreamland.

4 out of 5 stars Crunchy Leaves.......2001-07-21

Having never been to New England, I don't know how this CD is supposed to relate. However, I did grow up in the south and we had a lot of crunchy leaves there. That's what this CD is about. Walking though a field of dead, crunchy leaves. Now I always loved walking (or running) through cruchy leaves so I enjoyed closing my eyes as the CD played and be carried back to the days of my youth. I don't think this is a good sleeping CD, but it is a good relaxing CD.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for relaxing.......2000-12-23

This is truly an album that reflects how I feel while driving through New England! It is perfect for relaxing in the evening or driving through the country-side. (it even keeps me relaxed during rush hour traffic!) This album is great!

Marty Weintraub plays a flowing, melodic piano in mostly original compositions that range from meditative to upbeat new age jazzy improvisations, accompanied by bass, percussion and ocassional acoustic guitar.

And all songs have sounds of nature transitions tastefully dissolved between them. All in all, this CD is very very relaxing listen.

This was a Christmas gift to me from some friends. However, I am now buying it for various friends and family. It is one of the most relaxing CD's I've heard in years. Definitely evokes the New England area.

      For my husband and I this is, by far, our favorite jazz album. Maslov has just that right combination of piano, bass, and drums. If you're a fan of Vince Guaraldi you'll LOVE "Autumn in New England". Great music for just sitting back and relaxing. We've listened to this album over and over and it still has that same magic as when we first heard it. If you can find it....buy it! You won't be disappointed!
