Just A Wish

Life Got In The Way

🎶 Brief Encounter is a laid-back instrumental journey blending lounge funk grooves, jazz-pop harmonies, and soulful melodic phrasing. Driven by a smooth dialogue between alto sax and guitar, the track floats atop electric piano voicings, warm bass, and ambient textures.

Built around an even 16th groove, the arrangement evolves through subtle dynamic shifts — with each section spotlighting a new voice while the rhythm stays locked in. From introspective verses to expressive solos and a vibrant chorus, it’s all about feel, space, and interaction.

🌙 Perfect for late-night listening, deep focus, or cruising through city lights.

Looking For You

John Tafaro has been producing since the early 90’s, beginning with helping local bands get needed exposure through his public access show “Turn it Up!!”, since then after a chance meeting with Mark Tinley a digital audio expert and who also at one time programmed keyboards for Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, John decided to take his music production skills to the next level. John composes and arranges mainly Smooth and Contemporary Jazz.

During March, 2016, John Tafaro released his single “In Time You Will See”, featuring Grammy Award-winning, Los Angeles-based contemporary saxophonist, Eric Marinthal, and one of the founding fathers of fusion, keyboardist Jeff Lorber, as well as drummer Ricky Lawson, co-founder of the Yellowjackets and who has collaborated with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston and Steely Dan.

True smooth groove is part of the core of John Tafaro’s sound to begin with, and on “In Time You Will See”, he and the other musicians involved all really reach out for that groove, and stay on it in as many different forms as they can possibly muster. Eric Marinthal’s saxophone punctuates the bass and rhythmic aspects of everything that is happening instrumentally on this track. So even if a melodic line is not particularly intended to be right in the pocket of the groove, it ends up being locked right in there due to the expertly played lines, riffs and phrases.
