Maiden's Voyage: a memorable coming-together
The New York City Jazz Record review
Nov 15, 2015
Jazz Weekly review
Nov 15, 2015
"Volcanic...a marvel of liquid flow amid vast reservoirs of sound..."
This is a remarkable record. Each score contains richly expressive material that tests the concentration of the performer. As led by meticulous attention to rhythm, balance and harmonic implications, Catherine Marie Charlton produces performances that are fresh, articulate and extremely poised. Each is a marvel of liquid flow amid vast reservoirs of sound, well recorded by Eric Troyer and mastered by Phil Nicolo. If only more recordings were produced with such meticulous care for production values.

"Every once in a while, an artist comes along to quiet the noise, make peace in the stillness, and humble you long enough to listen to her transformative music."
"... Maiden's Voyage, a triumph... In these instrumentals of imagery, endless fascination, and spontaneous concerns, Charlton seems to literally create a new form of jazz interpretation, one born of feelings rather than flash..."

CMC's piano intro to Heroes "one of the most interesting passages on the entire album..."
CMC is pianist/piano arranger on several tracks of Jeff Oster's album "next", which also features Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey, Nile Rodgers, Will Ackerman, Ricky Kej, Philip Aaberg, Tony Levin, and more. A recent review by GAIA Prime Radio said this about CMC's piano intro on "Heroes": "The opening, with an interweaving of Charlton’s piano and Tabaloff’s mellow saxophone, provides one of the most interesting passages on the entire album."
