Damien Riba recently posted this jazz take on  Gershon Kingsley's 1969 tune, "Popcorn". Damien was gracious enough to allow me to add some additional instruments to his already wonderful track. I went for a "fim noir" style feel in my arrangement. I hope you enjoy it!

I Remember Clifford

I present my interpretation of a very beautiful song written in 1941 by George Fragos, Jack Baker and Dick Gasparre. It was a hit for many artists over the years including Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra. It was also used in the Fritz Lang directed 1952 movie "Clash By Night" from which the photo is taken.

I Hear A Rhapsody

Asana- Position Number 86

I present to you my version of the seminal 1930's classic, "Georgia on My Mind" .
Written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics) and first recorded that year. It has often been associated with Ray Charles, a native of the U.S. state of Georgia who recorded it for his 1960 album The Genius Hits the Road.

So this is my first foray into the world of original jazz composition. 
Had a lot of fun doing this.
I played rather than programmed too. Still using vsti's but not a single note was entered with a mouse!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it :)

“But Beautiful” was composed by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke in 1947. It was introduced by Bing Crosby in the movie Road to Rio. But Beautiful has been a favorite of pop and jazz vocalists for generations. Billie Holiday included her gorgeous version in her amazing album Lady in Satin. It has also been recorded by Tony Bennett, Bill Evans, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Horn and Stan Getz among others.

A Little Part of Me -  Przemek Dyakowski (2007)

Just sharing the music that I write as a way to give me some focus for composing, something i'm currently striving to be better at.
While drums are my first instrument, guitar will mostly be featured here  and almost everything else you hear will be programmed, including drums. I just don't have the gear or the space to record them.
Comments and shizz will be appreciated verily yo. Feel free to contact me also.
