A jazz sensibility brought to contemporary beats familiar to hip hop, dance and electronic. Great melodies, riffs and grooves.
Bio / Background
I was born in Chicago, Illinois, started playing piano in my teens and added guitar and percussion very quickly. My first instructor was a local jazz pianist and I then attended the Conservatory of Music in Chicago, before moving to NYC and then to San Francisco and LA.. I now reside in Sedona, AZ.
If you're at all familiar with the last few decades of jazz, you know what a diverse music it's become. Within this CD are some things many would say is not jazz, so that's why I call it "Something Like Jazz".
Certainly the phrasing of the improvised passages on many of these songs will be recognizable as jazz though the rhythms may include elements of hip hop, dance and other newer types of music. Acid Jazz is probably the genre closest
to what's on this CD, though 2 of the songs, with acoustic bass, drum and piano sound very post-bop traditional.
I started composing music and writing songs to hear what I wasn't hearing anywhere else.
