Hi Anita,
I wanted to let you know I was at your IAJE performance in January. You & your band were amazing! Your compositions came off with such passion and great emotion - I was deeply touched. Sorry I wasn't able to stick around at the end to congratulate you in person. Sending best wishes & hugs - Always, Mala.

Your concert at the IAJE Conference was really great. Everything came together. Your compositions were outstanding and the musicians in the band obviously inspired. You were dynamite. And the room was packed. It was one of those great moments. I was thrilled to be there.

Dear miss Brown,
At the IAJE 2007 I joined your clinic, bought your cd and listened to you concert. I was the guy who asked you about the chaconne bass.
I want to let you know that your music touches me deeply. At the concert I couldn't keep my tears at all songs except for the last one. When I played your cd at home the effect was similar, especially at the Shifting tides of Montauk. I listened together with my girlfriend (also a music lover) to The lighthouse. We simply had to stop the cd to take a break after hearing such intens concentration and power.
There is something in your way of using harmony and instrumentation that is really special. I hope when your new album is coming out you will let me know, because I'll buy it unheard.
Your orchestra deserves many complements as well. You simply work with excellent players. I'm a trumpeter myself. Those notes from your lead player as well as from the soloist evoke my deepest respect...
I also like the fact that the music is recorded without overdubs. These days in studios everything can be fixed, but what we hear here is honest.
Keep on writing!
Best regards,
Bart Noorman

As always, great to see you at IAJE. As much as I enjoyed your clinic on "The Lighthouse", your concert blew me away even more. Congrats to your band. It was definitely one of the highlights of the conference in terms of performances for me. The musicc really came to life, representing a great variety of emotions. You are quickly becoming a master of tension and release, and after all, what more is there to great music?

Anita,
Congratulations on a terrific concert Saturday. I wasn't able to stop by after the concert so I'm sending this email. It was interesting to hear your band live...as good as the recording is, it doesn't convey the intensity and the "wall of sound" the band delivers in the big tutti sections. And, much to my chagrin, on the end of "27 East" where I thought you had dialed in a recording of waves breaking on shore, I see (and hear) the players blowing through their horns with fluttering valves, etc. Obviously, I don't always listen as closely as I should.
I like the way the concert started, developed and ended...I think they call this good programming. Whatever you're doing Anita, keep on doing it.
All the best,
Jack

You have a wonderful concept and ability to "tell a story" with your music. Full of rich textures, energy and spiraling harmonies. It is very evocative music and it is very rewarding for the listener. I came away feeling very uplifted and content with the world. What more could you ask of one's music?

It's no coincidence that your Web site is the color of passion. Watching you conduct your gorgeous music is to witness the ultimate artistic fulfillment: highly personal, completely original, and intensely joyful.
Onward and upward, kiddo! BRAVA!!

Hey Anita,
Congratulations on the new website! I'm so happy to see things are going well with you & your music. Your compositions are wonderful. They evoke the most vivid pictures -- wow. I honestly love all the audio clips you've posted here. If absolutely pressed to pick a favorite, it would probably be between "Alexander's Lullaby Waltz" or "27 East." But as they say -- it's ALL good :-) I'm glad we've reconnected. Best wishes with everything. I look forward to catching you in concert ... hopefully soon!
