““….a thoroughly enjoyable and instantly accessible mixture of light, friendly jazz and introspective acoustic solo piano pieces….Produced by the estimable Corin Nelsen, Intuition presents a more varied collection of sounds and moods across its ten tracks than one usually hears in this sub-genre [Contemporary Instrumental]…Whether he is sharing the spotlight with guest stars or going solo, Dan Kennedy hits all the right notes on this delightful musical assortment.””

— Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter

“Dan Kennedy, who began his career playing improvisational piano music in coffee shops, delivers a wonderfully diverse atmosphere on his newest release Intuition. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning Corin Nelsen, Dan Kennedy's sensational Intuition conveys his forte with creating an upbeat, rhythmic brand of contemporary music in classic fashion. [awarded: Top 10 New Age Albums in 2012]”

— John P. Olsen, NewAgeMusicWorld.com

“The ten tracks on this album present an eclectic mix of jazz, rock and new age genres, clearly demonstrating Kennedy's diverse composing styles. The album was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Grammy-winning Corin Nelsen, who is becoming a legend in his own right! Some of the pieces are solo piano and others are for piano and ensemble…I really like "Jade," with its gentle flow and graceful, dreamy mood…"Intuition" should go a long way to bringing Dan Kennedy's music the attention it deserves. Recommended. ”

— Kathy Parsons, MainlyPiano

“In general, the supporting instruments on the album provide just the right amount of flavor to spice up the arrangements without overpowering the piano, which is the main course. I really like the way that the various elements, jazz in particular, are integrated into the music, giving it the ability to appeal to a wider audience. As well received as Dan's "Lantern" CD was, including airplay on Sirius XM Satellite Radio, I believe that this new release shows even greater potential. "Intuition" is a multi-faceted album that sparkles with the talent of a promising instrumentalist. ”

— Michael Diamond, Music and Media Focus

“Dan Kennedy's Intuition extends far beyond a simple gut feeling and reveals a sophisticated sensibility to his eclectic instrumental compositions. The rhythmic energy throughout the album is punctuated by world-class players accompanying Dan's piano and intertwines elements of jazz and blues into a new age base. From infectious foot-tapping to nostalgia-inspiring melodies he has followed his heart with this new work. ”

— Corin Nelsen, SynchroSonic Productions

“[Kennedy] displays some blues and jazz influences that come as a pleasant surprise and add depth and texture... ”

— Casey Hayman, Reviewer, Local Buzz

“Dan Kennedy's music brings joy and light. It is bright like a butterfly which flies on its weightless wings from one beautiful flower to another on the lush summer meadow. ”

— Serge Kozlovsky, sergekozlovsky.com

“My faves are EASY LIVING, COULD BE and AT THE BEGINNING…Really lovely. ”

— Will Ackerman, Imaginary Road Studios, Windham County, VT

“From the very first rapid G notes on the first track you can hear and feel Dan Kennedy's piano skills. The Steinway is played with identity, giving each song a special touch; youthful and mature at the same time... ”

— BT Fasmer, a.k.a. circle, newagemusic.nu

“Both of Dan's albums have gone Top 100 on the ZMR (Zone Music Reporter) Charts. ”

— Zone Music Reporter

“A wonderful way to calm the mind and soothe the soul, in the finest tradition of the Windham Hill label.”

— Chris Lindquist, Director, The Westfield Athenaeum
