"Creating Serene New You Sax was a genius move on the part of extraordinary Saxophonist, Carl Bartlett, Jr., because I believe it can help many people who often suffer from stress and anxiety, in a natural way.  It's a wonderful blend of saxophones and rainstick that help produce a calm and relaxed feeling.  I personally listen to it in the evening when I need to relax and wind down from the activities of the day.  Serene New You Sax, is appropriately named because that's how you feel after listening; like a fresh "New You."  I love this soundtrack and highly recommend it!"

- JoAnn Youngblood King, Queens, New York

"Carl Bartlett Jr’s Testimonial For Serene New You Sax is a 35 minute musical piece featuring Carl primarily on sax and rainstick.  The purpose of the piece is to relax you and to help the listener find inner peace.

Carl’s gentle sounds on the sax stretch out gently making visual pictures come to mind.  I thought of waves gently rolling into shore.  A lighthouse came into my mind while listening to the piece.  I was also reminded of a peaceful landscape with mountains and birds gliding along to the gentleness of the lush sounds created by the sax.  The piece stretches notes softly and eloquently creating a feeling of inner calm as you listen.

Carl’s musical creation also works as a form of minimalism.  It succeeds not only as a form of relaxation, but as an interesting example of ambient music creating visuals in the mind of the listener.  I can definitely see people meditating to this piece.  If you come home from a stressful day at work, this is the perfect piece to put on and play."

"I've heard a variety of relaxing music over the years.  However, none like Carl's! Usually you hear the piano and/or nature.  But using the saxophone was pure genius.  As the music enters my soul, it is soothed and takes me to another universe.  I feel as though I've been washed, air-dried, and pampered.  Truly relaxing and recharged."

- P. Nicole Lawrence, Teacher-ESL, Freeport, NY

"Serene New You Sax is the new wave for relaxation and meditation.  Once you listen it takes you into another world.  I admit, I was a skeptic when I first listened.  But, after I listened to the light sounds of Serene New You Sax it has made me a believer.  I listen after a long day when I want to wind down.  Or, when I want to meditate.  It helps wipe away the stress of a long day."

"Serene New You Sax Testimonial: As I listened, I felt the power of the SAX vibrations, from the first note.  My eyes gently began to close, I wanted to feel this connecting force deeply.  I decided to get on my air trainer & lay upside down and WOW a river of peace began to rise up and tender my heart.  I inhaled & exhaled, freely and slowly, releasing all concerns purposefully.  This is my daily goal to refresh my soul continually!  This was another new experience, I simply embraced.

Thanks so much for another wonderful & new experience.  I truly enjoy your song and have added it to my deep breathing exercises and meditation!"

- Eliza Dukes, Emotional Healing Strategist, Wilmington, DE www.TheBreathingExperience.com

"Serene New You Sax has come at a time in my life where I really need to relax, release and let God.  It allows you to take a beat and let the world around you be quiet so you can really listen and hear what's going on inside.  I appreciate the thought and talent Carl has put into this and happily not surprised how good it is and how well it works.  I also want to add that my pet dog Miles really enjoys listening as well.  It calms him and he drifts off into a sweet sleep.  Thanks Carl.  I hope everyone feels the love and heart you put into this venture."

- Michele W, Glendale, NY

"When I first downloaded this product, I thought I'd give it a try as I was becoming more and more desperate for some anxiety-busting relaxation tools, given these extraordinary times.  I laid down, put it on and…awoke an hour later!  I was sorry to have missed the beautiful music (which I have since remained conscious for), but that first trying and I was sold!  Thanks Mr. Bartlett and all."

- Lawrence Pech, Glen Ellen, CA

"Everyday I walk for about an hour in the coolness of the morning.  When I return home I sit on my porch and meditate.  Recently I’ve started meditating to the mellow harmonies of Serene New You Sax.  The soothing notes help me relax into the rest of my day.  I often continue with the calming sounds well after my twenty minute meditation is over.  Beautiful sounds to release stress by."

"Great music!  The acappella line is so soothing and the harmonic structure is excellent.  Great music for relaxing the mind."

- John Barr, Bronx, New York

"Serene New You Sax is a perfect accompaniment for a meditation practice or background sounds to relax and center oneself.  What you hear will likely vary from person to person but to this listener the opening sounds of waves took me from Goree Island to Sullivan’s Island.  The alto enters with a sound reminiscent of the horn of a boat and transitions into the sound of a tone being perfected using the life giving breath that is always available to us.  And then behind the melodious sound we are introduced to harmony that calls out our interconnectedness and the potential beauty that lies therein.  The beauty and tranquility continue for the remaining minutes.  For me, Carl has found a dialectic between fiery Bebop licks and calming vibrations.  I need both in my life."

- Ajamu Dillahunt, Raleigh, N.C.

"I am so grateful that I purchased Serene New You Sax by Carl Bartlett, Jr.  This year has been a bit challenging for me and I literally feel like his music has helped me learn how to breathe again.  Whenever I turn it on, I instantly feel my shoulders relax, and my heart rate begins to slow down.  It's like having a musical massage.  I believe that this is truly what we all need right now.  And to make sure that I'm never without it, I downloaded it onto my phone, laptop, and my iPad.  Congratulations to Carl for creating such an important and necessary piece of music.  Before purchasing this piece, I didn't realize how much I needed it.  And I'm sure that once you have it, you'll feel the same way."

"My name is Angela Richardson, I was born and raised in Hollis, NY.  I purchased Serene New You Sax because I have always been a fan of Carl Bartlett Jr., and knew that this project would be great.  I have been practicing breathing techniques lately, and it is the perfect accompaniment for relaxation techniques or prayer.  This came at a perfect time when life is so stressful with everything going on in the world, the soothing sounds of saxophone and nature truly are a calming combination, and a huge blessing.  I work as a Medical Assistant for Northwell Health and sometimes on a hectic day, I listen to this at lunch and it helps me relax."

- Angela Richardson, Medical Assistant for Northwell Health, Hollis, NY

"I’ve known Carl Bartlett Jr. for a good while and also had the pleasure on many occasions to work with him.  He is an excellent musician, composer, arranger, educator, etc.  As an educator myself, I always tell my students that through history, composers used the power of music to help others.  Carl Jr.’s latest work “Serene New You Sax” does just that.  I listen to it when I want to settle down after a stressful day, or when I just want to meditate.  In doing so, I am able to focus better, as well as reap the benefits of a healthier me.  Thanks Carl Jr."

- Whitfield Coppin, Valley Stream, NY

"The meaning of music is more than we ever imagined it could be for the human spirit.  Think about all the times you tune into music to get through a workout, on a long drive to work, or just to listen to it to get through the day.  This is what is so special to Carl’s music.  He took the time to tailor it to help deal with his own stress and anxiety.  In turn he gifted it to the world.  Stop and listen to his music download.  You will hear the soothing sounds and relax without having to think about it."

- Toni González, Founder of Wellness For You, New Jersey

"My testimonial about Serene New You Sax relaxation music is part of my ritual life.  There are times when things get crazy in my life or I'm feeling depressed and lonely.  I listen to Serene music and it brings me back to myself and reminds me of the happy moments I've had in my life and it opens up a new chapter for me.  I can't explain it, I become the happy person I am and its a feeling that comes over me that's so good its hard to explain.

Serene music for me is a ritual when I'm meditating and just lying down lost in my thoughts with a calming spiritual lift in my life."

- Doris Dobson, Educator, Suffolk County, New York

"I was having my normal difficult time with falling asleep during the early morning hours of August 15th, 2020.  The time was approximately 3:00 AM.  During my tossing and turning to find sleep, I recalled that Serene New You Sax was launching that day.  I thought to myself, I wonder if the product would be available for download so early during the morning of August 15th, 2020?  I reached for my phone and was able to download the product at that time.  What a blessing for me!  I first tried my best to relax myself before listening to the downloads.  I would Love to tell you about the entire Download and how great it was, however sleep found me somewhere in the middle of my listening experience.  I woke later that morning and said to myself, mission accomplished!  I was able to get the much needed sleep and peace of mind thanks to Serene New You Sax!  Carl, thank you for taking all the necessary time to put just the right ingredients into making this wonderful, relaxing music.  It is a product that will always be valuable.  Kind regards,"

- Gregory Kimble, Bronx, NY

"The musical rendition of Serene New Sax by Carl Bartlett Jr. is quite fitting as a way to unwind and relax.  The soothing sounds performed took my mind far away and created a unique opportunity to forget about the issues at hand.  I appreciated the length of the piece because I was able to focus on the notes resulting in a deeper and faster relaxation time rather than focusing on different songs.

A new “go to” piece when I need to relax!  Thanks Carl for doing an excellent job once more!"
