SOME BACKGROUND ON ME:
I''ve been playing a guitar since I was 7yrs old. I also picked up bass & keyboards in my early 20s. My main tool for composition is a keyboard, facilitating samples and sequencing, along with live recording.
My professional experience spans about 25 years. This includes studio and live gigging.
I started out playing good old Rock; like most young guys back in the 70s. I followed that genre for about 5 or 6 years. But after a that I wanted to explore my musicality more in depth, so I studied artists like Earl Klugh, George Benson, Jeff Beck, Spyro Gyra, Stanely Clark, Allan Holdsworth, Chick Corea, John Scofield, and many other top Jazz artists of that decade. I''ve always been a predominately self-taught musician.
In the mid 80s I joined a well known Vancouver Funk/R&B band named "H.B. Concept" (short for "Henry Brown"). For the next 15yrs I was immersed in this genre. The keyboard player and I also hired ourselves out as a unit. Aside from duo gigs we played for the top solo artists on the circuit at that time like Ron Haywood (formerly lead vocalist for ''Stripes''), Joni Bye, Lori Paul, Cathy https://www.tradebit.commaine (also from ''Stripes''), and a few other favorites. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about those styles. No matter what I''ve written since those days, those 2 styles specifically have always been in-the-mix for me.
As to whom I feel I most sound like... I can''t honestly say. I''m not very good at classifying myself like that. I don''t seriously think I sound like any one artist. But I might just be too close to the album to hear the music. ;)
I also have a degree in music. My musical influences range from old spaghetti westerns to cool jazz to 70s rock, fusion & R&B. My personal preference is jazz fusion/smooth jazz, but I write and play just about any style. I have a collection of movie/tv styled scores also. That''s always been a favorite pastime of mine.
A BRIEF ON THE MUSIC:
The inspiration for this, my first real CD, was a throwback to the 80s and 90s. With a modern Smooth Jazz style, but some samples and chops from the 80s and 90s, along with some contemporary R&B grooves (and a touch of my own personal style), I''ve tried to setup a specific overall storyline type of feeling to the this group of songs. I hope I''ve managed to pull that off to some degree. This is a CD you can really ''chill'' to. Nothing overly aggressive musically on this project (we''ll do that on the next project), so turn it up and relax with your favorite person for awhile.
I''d love to hear what the visitors listening to the samples think. Please feel free to leave me your thoughts and comments of this CD. I''d appreciate your input very much.
