Many thanks for sending me a copy of On The Edge And Beyond.
I would like to congratulate you on an excellent CD, every track a gem. I receive many CDs each week, to consider being played in my programmes for Radio Seagull (Holland) and Radio Caroline (UK) but this album is head and shoulders above many and I hope you continue to produce such quality material.
Please keep me informed and add me to your mailing list for future CDs and news.
On the 'can I be cheeky point' if you have the occasion and it doesn't cost you, your voice style and music would create a great jingle, a name and station ID would be grateful, again it is a cheek but Hey don't ask don't get.
Well Done on this CD and I hope many more to come

Feedback: Dear , It pleases me to inform you about the tracks of the cd On The Edge And Beyond which have been played on my radio show, broadcasted on Radio Assen FM in Holland. This is because I do appreciate the music very much. Also by some reactions I got from the listeners. The next time I`d like to spend more time and I`ll present a Jazz Profile (about 1 hour) with a great variety of your music. But to do so, I need more information (biography & discography) and if possible more music from you and your groups. I like to present broad musical image of the musician, to my listeners. Sincerely, H.P.van WIjnbergen

Feedback: With obvious influences from the likes of Chicago and Steely Dan, On The Edge And Beyond has quickly become one of my favourite cds to play - not only on air but also for listening pleasure. Len Sharman certainly knows how to turn out a well-crafted song and his voice is also very pleasant. All the songs on the cd have instant appeal about them. They are what I'd call a presenters joy in that if you are in a rush and put the cd on you can play any tune with confidence knowing that it will mix with whatever you have played previously. The cd gets off to a great start with You Give Me More which has some nice guitar phrases and a hypnotic beat. Saturn's Moon is most hauntingly beautiful and is a nice contrast. I love the boogie beat on Come To This with its funky bass line. Holiday Town evokes those wonderful memories of carefree days at the beach and is most uplifting. I could listen all day to Freedom Bird, a pretty ballad, featuring wonderful pianistic skills of Tim Shanasy. As a final comment Peter Fraser's sax phrases are an absolute joy to the ear. It's a shame there are only 8 tracks on the cd, but Len Sharman is obviously a crafty musician - he gives you enough to sample so that you want to come back for more. Special mention must be made to the great art work on the cd. I wish Firefly Soul much success with this cd. I have given this cd extensive airplay.

Feedback: FIREFLY SOUL: ON THE EDGE AND BEYOND 19/January/2008 15:07 Opgeslagen in: CD-REVIEWS Een mengelmoes van nu-jazz, adult contemporary, soul en smooth groove. Uit Australië komt deze cd van de groep Firefly Soul, die opgericht werd door Len Sharman. Hij is vooral bedrijvig in de lokale muziekscène van Melbourne, waar hij verschillende muziekprojecten voor onafhankelijke artiesten produceert. Hij creëerde deze cd met acht songs, zong ze in, speelde bas, synthesizer, percussie, keyboards en programmeerde de drums. Daarnaast produceerde, mixte en nam hij de songs op. Gebaseerd op het model van de groep Steely Dan werkte hij samen met verschillende gastmuzikanten uit binnen- en buitenland. Tot dit collectief behoren Ben Meeking (keyboards en close harmony), Robert Pettinato (keyboards, drums, en drumprogrammering), Boy Kanda, Tim Shanasy (keyboards), Peter Fraser (sax), en Zac Sharman (gitaar en synthesizer). Sharman wou met de nieuwe mogelijkheden muziek maken in een multiraciaal thema die de dito samenleving moest symboliseren, en daarnaast vrede, harmonie en respect voor de diversiteit promoten. De muziek die ze brengen grijpt terug naar de jaren tachtig en negentig van de vorige eeuw. Het is een mengelmoes met invloeden van nu-jazz, adult contemporary, soul en smooth groove. De song ‘Saturn’s Moon’ gaat over mensen die verdrietig en melancholisch zijn. Middelmatig.
