Albums It's So Cool, Cooler, Stolen Moments

Press Reviews "Cooler" is a fitting title for this ultra-smooth album from Christian jazz artist Eric Copeland. He skillfully blends the cool phrasing of be-bop with lite hip-hop grooves...Copeland can make you think and feel good at the same time--proving he can have fun and yet be serious when he needs to...Cool music for the soul. - MISH MASH (Website) Issue #8, July, 1999
