Grooved hot chicks on the dance floor on bass with a DJ... Earned Master of Music in New York on 100% scholarship... Won Downbeat award..... .... That's nothing. .. .... .. Music is my way of existence. I invest all my life in it... I make it as melodic, accessible yet perfectly written as I can... .. Guys like Mike Pope (played with Chick in the Elektric Band) and Jean Caze (played with Herbie and Al Jarreau) have their touring schedule tightly packed months ahead. There's no way of getting them on your track if they don't like the material. They play on my record. I'm proud of it. .. Enjoy the music. Some of it require time be digested. Listen again. There's a lot going on, but every bit is in place. It is full of melodies and emotions, it is masterfully harmonized and arranged....... .... I don't know how I did it, but this is GOOD MUSIC, believe it or not. .... LISTEN. ONLY MUSIC MATTERS.

Bio:

Schooled in classical composition, focusing on late, highly developed tonal styles of Prokofiev and Shostakovich.
Played jazz gigs with best cats in town.
Grooved hot chicks on the dance floor on bass with a DJ.
Earned Master of Music in New York on 100% scholarship.
Won Downbeat award.

That's nothing.

Music is my way of existence. I invest all my life in it.
I make it as melodic, accessible yet perfectly written as I can.

Guys like Mike Pope (played with Chick in the Elektric Band) and Jean Caze (played with Herbie and Al Jarreau) have their touring schedule tightly packed months ahead. There's no way of getting them on your track if they don't like the material. They play on my record. I'm proud of it.
Enjoy the music. Some of it require time be digested. Listen again. There's a lot going on, but every bit is in place. It is full of melodies and emotions, it is masterfully harmonized and arranged.

I don't know how I did it, but this is GOOD MUSIC, believe it or not.
LISTEN. ONLY MUSIC MATTERS.

Influences:

Stravinsky meets New York jazz and Stylus RMX: "late tonal style" of writing, true emotions of jazz solos and fresh beats of 2010.
”This is absolutely brilliant and the passion of this work and recording is wonderfully intense. It swings perfectly, it drives with blazing fire.” - Joel Thome, Grammy awarded composer, conductor and arranger (worked with Frank Zappa, Vladimir Feltsman, Brooklyn philharmonic, etc.)

This release - “Visions of a Show” foreshadows the first, “classical-part-of-now” Movement of the Love: Triptych show and contains tonal jazz and pop music, enriched with compositional techniques of the “late tonal style” (Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich). The music is ultimately finely crafted, yet filled with vitality of jazz solos and gracefulness of vocal work.

The jewel of the album is a unique rendition of “Body and Soul” jazz standard.
Born in New York, "Body and Soul 2.0" is something that has NEVER happened in jazz before. A masterfully inserted contrapuntal "passacaglia" middle section lifts the tune up to the entirely new emotional and musical level.
Ultimately dramatic, now it also has that deep and complex dimension, "a polyphonic journey through subconsciousness".
Vocal work is charged with true emotional power of a young girl’s love masterfully performed by singer Ann Di.

Body and Soul 2.0 won the Downbeat award for the best jazz arrangement in 2010.
