“(Grammy Award Winner, Winner of multiple Platinum & Gold Records, Founder of Windham Hill Records) Conceived as the soundtrack of a contemporary wedding, “All The Days Of My Life” is, of course, perfect for weddings, but is so original in the arrangements of even traditional wedding music that the album is a joy on any day. Vicente is a brilliant player and arranger. Very few musicians could have pulled this off so gracefully and successfully. There is a freshness to his approach to this material that utterly avoids cliché and provides depth and beauty in its place… a remarkable achievement. To read the full review CLICK HERE ”

“…definitely spoke a language that people knew.  Just as definitely, though, it was this composer's own, distinctive voice. Not everybody could write like this and never come up with a cliché. This was good taste unto genius. ”
