I'm a contemporary instrumental keyboardist-composer from the San Diego, CA area. On my five releases, I've explored a variety of genres from smooth jazz to solo piano, as well as chill-out electronica. In addition to being a recording artist, I am a church organist-pianist and a piano instructor. I'll occasionally perform at coffee shops and places such as Borders. It's a blessing to able to this as a career. It's even better to share my music with others. After doing five albums on my own, I would like to become associated with a recording label to further my possibilities. To have the opportunity to perform with some of the really great and established smooth jazz artists, would be nothing short of amazing.
I logged into my comments page to answer a comment and this music started up. At first I had no idea where it was coming from, but I liked it enough to leave it on.... then found out it was YOU! hehehe
Hello CA Hi John it's a pleasure to hear you! I love you "Sax Jazz Sound". It's good to know you and I appreciated your friendship a lot. Have a great week Bernie
