...I’ll go as far as saying that this is one of my favorite CDs EVER. I have been a huge fan of Spencer Brewer and his music for about twenty years, and am just delighted that he is back on the scene with such a great album! Brewer is always in his element playing live, injecting a ton of fun into his more upbeat jazz stylings and heart-melting emotion into his more serene work. “Cinematic� captures that spirit like none of his previous recordings have - this is truly Spencer Brewer at his best! Both discs alternate the upbeat with the quieter pieces, creating a varied and exciting listening experience.

...In a sense he more of a songwriter given the strength of his tonal lines (Carnival and Tomorrows Child). He is, after all, the man who wrote the YMCA theme song. More than once Ive found myself humming along, or discovering that what is playing in my head is a remembered Brewer composition. His touch is light and easy-going, hence its tendency to work its way into the background, becoming part of what the listener is doing.Once again, hats off to Brewers delight in bringing in his friends as part of his work. In a history of appearances on some 40 different albums he has shown an ability to built creattive partnerships on the fly, which is an impressive accomplishment for anyone who specializes in a solo instrument. - Unlock Austin.com

Spencer Brewer does not need much of an introduction. He is a power in the New Age arena - as a composer, performer and producer. He is responsible for the YMCA theme song, among other things. Dorians Legacy sat on top of Billboards New Age charts for 10 months. Noted for his ability to combine strong pianistic skills with lush arrangement, he has carved a unique and well-deserved position in the genre. - The Art of the Melodist
