Coastal America will be broadcast on PBS over the first three weeks in March.
Coastal America Reviews:
Tim Janis Makes Beautiful Music 
2009-10-23 - Any music done by Tim Janis is expected to be wonderful to listen to, and this is no exception. The difference here is that I was expecting to see a lot of Beautiful Coastal America video, but instead there is mostly video of Tim Janis and his Orchestra playing music, interspersed with 10 second clips of beautiful scenery - not quite enough to make me want to watch the video over and over.
Who the heck is Tim Janis? 
2008-09-08 - Until last night, I had never heard of Tim Janis. I was flipping through the TV channels (I don't have cable, so I can't say I was "surfing") and stopped on my local PBS station when I heard this beautiful music. It caught my attention immediately. My first thought was, I gotta find out who this is and where I can hear more.
Amazon had the answer. This is the DVD of the show I watched. The one I will be buying in the next few minutes. The visuals that go along with it are lush, to the point of almost appearing schmaltzy. But they're real pretty. If you close your eyes while you're listening to the music, you won't notice that they repeat some of the visuals over and over.
Thanks to a limited amount of George Clooney's narration about the various coastal areas, you can almost imagine that you are there.
But don't take my word for it. See and hear it for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Exceptional quality and workmanship!
2008-07-26 - The Coastal America music and scenic DVD is exceptional. A person can sit down to watch this and get swept away by the beauty of coastal America and the sounds of the wonderfully orchestrated music. This DVD has become a staple in my kitchen, of all places! After a long hard day at work, I pop in the DVD while I am preparing dinner and in no time, I am relaxed, leaving the frustrations of my workday behind!
I have also purchased this DVD for my parents, who are in their 70's, as a gift. I think it was the best gift I ever gave them! They also enjoy the relaxing nature of it. My mom watches it when she is on her exercise bike, stating this has kept her motivated to get on that bike daily!
I highly recommend this DVD and any of the others this artist has produced. They are not that expensive and well worth it!
Coastal America 
2008-01-12 - Product not up to the quality expected. Sound quality poor and music far too redundant. Voice narration very low and hard to hear.
Beautiful music and great photography
2007-03-25 - Another top notch DVD by Tim Janis. The music by Tim Janis and his ensemble nicely compliments the beautiful photographic depictions of America's coastlines. The commentary by George Clooney is good but at times rather indistinct and soft.
