The Dangling Success is an all-instrumental smooth jazz band that maintains a steady groove throughout their recent release City Life. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects of living in the city the band’s view is one that is positive and alluring as shown on the cover. The picture invites you to a late night jazz club where you can unwind and find yourself in a place that you will want to remain.....

City Life is an exceptional recording in every way. The band, which consists of Mark Niekrewicz (all saxes), Gioron Wilkins, Sr. (guitar), Mike McDonough (bass), Paul Rossman (drums, percussion) and Daniel Odescalchi (keyboards) are a fine compliment to each other on all the tracks. They maintain an ideal degree of consistency through and through on this CD, enough to please any jazz listener.....

“Catch The Groove” is a fine example of what this band produces on a regular basis; it serves as their poster child for the sound created on City Life.  With a bevy of original material to present they veer off into cover land taking The Rolling Stones tune “Beast of Burden” and make it their own. In fact as it turns out, it is one of the best tracks on the album. While they do not offer anything new or innovative they are a solid band that can command your attention and easily rival any of their contemporaries in the genre.....

With 13 strong tracks to offer up The Dangling Success does not seem to be dangling anywhere at all, they have a firm foothold on their sound, presentation, and recording process and are in position to find great success with many smooth jazz radio stations around the globe.....

This CD is highly recommended listening for jazz fans and those that are looking for a nice musical getaway that will provide relaxation and many hours of enjoyment.....

"Warning! this music is an aphrodisiac for the spirit!" The Dangling Success' website reads in bright red. I personally wouldn't limit its effects to just the spirit, however. The tunes on the debut release CHILLED CHAMPAGNE may cut into sales of Viagra and Cialis! Radio agrees, as they lavish the following comments upon the recording: "Smooth Jazz with a definite edge." "It's smooth and sultry, yet energetic and electrifying." "A unique sound that's fresh and will really perk up our listeners' ears!" What's getting everybody so excited about this Hudson River Valley, NY  based Smooth groove band? You'll clearly hear the answer when you check out tracks like "Lipstick Marks," "Arabian Nights," and "Chillin." Mark "Dr. Sax" Neikrowitz and his compadres, guitarist Gioron Wilkins, Sr., bassist Mike McDonough, drummer/percussionist Paul Rossman, and keyboardist Daniel Odescalchi have got it goin' on with this set of nine groove-laden originals. We hear their live shows are events to behold, as they leap onto tables and dance with the crowd while performing! I can't wait for this album to be the catalyst for a national tour. The Dangling Success' CHILLED CHAMPAGNE is big fun for the summer, and it'll keep you warm all year round! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
