REVIEWS FOR NEW BEGINNING CD:

"When it comes to soul, Dennis Marcellino redefines the term. His remarkable tone and feel are full of passion and soulful expression.” – Bob Carlisle, Grammy and Dove award winning writer and singer of "Butterfly Kisses"

"The greatest saxophonist on the planet!"
"Spotlight" review, Vision Music

Dennis’ version of “Amazing Grace”, “Overcome” and “At Last” were #1
at mp3.com in their genres.

"Dennis Marcellino's music is so beautiful. He makes the sax sound like angels singing."
Kathy Simka, Entertainment Dept., Disneyland, Anaheim, CA

"Dennis Marcellino is a true music veteran. His credits include former membership in The Tokens ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), Sly and the Family Stone, The Elvin Bishop Group, The Electric Flag and Rubicon. He is a consummate singer, saxophonist, flutist and songwriter. His purpose in recording New Beginning was to "Thank God for showing me the extreme beauty and practicality of His Kingdom and then hanging in there with me as He provides a path towards perfection for me to be reeled in on." New Beginning contains several instrumental cuts along with a few vocals; each song is beautifully performed. The first two cuts include exquisite saxophone performances, followed by a lovely and peaceful rendition of "How Great Thou Art" on the flute. Marcellino's rendition of "Amazing Grace" is glorious and will send your spirit soaring.
Susan Bailey, Grapevine music magazine

"The NEW BEGINNING CD puts me into ecstasy. Dennis has been given a beautiful gift from God in his music... It is a beautiful ministry."
Lynn Hoffman, Fiat Voluntas Tua, Tracy, CA

"(sigh) Absolutely gorgeous! The first two cuts just absolutely floored me. I thought they were just dazzling. Many cuts on this CD are absolutely beautiful."
Ken O'Brien, DJ, KGON-FM, Portland, Oregon

"Dennis Marcellino's music is totally phenomenal! I mean, REALLY... Amazing Grace is so completely soul-ful! I don't impress easily, and I'm beyond impressed. I'm blown away."
Carl Spagnuolo, Musical Director for Bo Diddley and entertainment attorney, Boca Raton, FL

"I just love this CD!!! It makes me feel like I'm in heaven listening with God's angels. It should be on top of the Christian charts!"
Valerie Pinera (wife of Mike Pinera who wrote and sang "Ride Captain Ride")

"WOW!!!! I have never heard such an incredible CD!!"
Bill Carty, Music Minister, First Redeemer Church, Alpharetta Ga.

"I play this CD often, and have suggested it to a number of people."
Julian Harper, EWTN



Album Description
The main feeling of this CD is beauty. It is done with tenor sax, flute, acoustic guitar and vocal leads, over lush backgrounds, including lots of strings (the artist jokingly says: "If you're tired of all of the Sex and Violence, try Sax and Violins"). It includes (what regularly comes up in the polls as) the #1 song of all time, "Amazing Grace", a stirring arrangement of "How Great Thou Art", and 10 originals by Dennis Marcellino, whose last CD, "An Evening To Remember", sold well internationally and received a 5 star review in Jazzscene Magazine. The grooves range from: 'pretty floaty ballads' to 'light pop ballads'.
