Prayers and Mad Laughter

Editorial Reviews
remco Takken,www. kindamuzik.net, April 29, 2004
"A blazing comeback, close to genius, a likeable madness, overwhelming sounds, she's playing like it might all end tomorrow."

John Grabowski, liner notes, July 2003
"Startling, innovative, filled with virtuosity, always exploring. The universe has been recreated, and it sounds wonderful."

Album Description
Multi-tracked pianos and voices, daring improvisations at once immense and intimate, organized and chaotic, bizarre and familiar, silly and sublime, structured and free. A cell-tingling journey of rebirth and re-creation expressing the "madness" we live through as we release the "old" and embrace the "new". Seven tracks of two pianos multi-tracked, one extended track (33 minutes long) of 6 pianos and voices multi-tracked, and one duet with vocalist John Roth that turns into contagious laughter. A very unusual CD that will take you wild white-water rafting and deliver you ashore. Avant-garde, bluesy, abstract, earthy, serious and funny - a highly original project.

5 out of 5 stars Music of Purity and Wonder.......2007-03-12

Kazzrie Jaxen is a total artist and this is why her music can take us places we never remember being. The title piece "Prayers and Mad Laughter" is what we heard before we had language. Surely, before we thought with words our hearts were still broken and our dreams still came true and when this happened what we heard and felt is prayers and mad laughter. Now, thanks to Kazzrie Jaxen we can again take that inner journey.
