It’s been a long time since I’ve posted and felt really great to sit down and pour out my heart on my piano for you. I've missed you all. Our family has been through a lot over this past year with the loss of my Dad and a few other family members…. and I know it’s been a journey for many of you, as well. Together, we are strengthened by our families, our friends, and our musical bonds. I hope you will enjoy my latest work, also available on YouTube to view here https://youtu.be/A6lEzEpjvSU. I wrote it quite awhile back in my head, but had to wait for the right emotional state play it. Well, that moment arrived, so I decided to finally record it. Won’t you put on your headphones and join me “Underwater”? Much peace and love to all!

I really missed you all and so glad I can present you more of my original music.

You Touched Me - Original Piano Composition - Jackie Perks

Hello my wonderful friends and fans. I hope you and those you love are all doing OK during these most challenging of times. Please allow me to offer my own musical consolation to anyone out there that is hurting, grieving, or lonely. I feel that connecting with music allows us to free so much stress during these uncertain times. My hope is that you will connect and find a healing quality in the music. The title is fitting to the emotions when I created it. This is “Consolation No. 1” and I hope you enjoy it. Kick back, relax….and just let it sink in.  I normally don't create a lot of music at once, but lately it has been flooding my mind. To view the video, kindly go to YouTube via my link. https://youtu.be/UN7mxWv7YjE. THANK YOU and much peace and love to all of you, ~Jackie

Consolation No. 1 - Original Piano Composition - Jackie Perks

My name is Jackie Perks and I am a classically trained pianist and composer.  To me, music is fantasy and also the greatest universal language that transcends space and time. Here I showcase all of my original works, which are a combination of raw improvisations and structured pieces.  People tell me that my music is a fusion of classical, jazz/blues, and sometimes with a New Age or cinematic sound and that it inspires and relaxes them. Music to me is essential, just like the air we breathe and I love to free my emotions by playing my piano and composing the music that I have heard playing in my head since I was 4 years old. In addition to my originals, you will also find classical pieces here that I have arranged myself.  In June of 2015, I was discovered on YouTube and one of my improvisational covers was used in an HBO Documentary. To see me playing live, please visit my YouTube channel. There you will find these original works, classical pieces and covers of many genres.  I also love to create videos to create ambiance and further drive the meaning and emotion behind my music.  I hope to see you there, too. http://youtube.com/classicaljams.  

Wishing you all much peace and love.   

With warmest regards,

~Jackie
