This is a contemporary jazz piece in my new project titled "Fables". This song is based on the Turkish fairy tale "The Wizard Dervish".

I started on the drums in 2001 and couldn't find anyone to practice for long periods of time, so figured to learn keyboard and create music to play the drums to and it has blossomed into I enjoy learning composition and listening to various styles of music and mixing genre's to create something different.  I enjoy collaborating, if your interested contact me by email or sound cloud mail.  I looking forward to hearing new ideas and working with people.
People I have enjoyed studying over a period of twenty plus years has been Marin Bejerano, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Roy Haynes, All of the classical greats, Beethoven, Bach, all of them, and most importantly listening to all of you.

I am a pianist and composer in Maine; USA

My album "The Bleak Midwinter" was released October 2016. "A Distant Arcade" was released July 2022.

Thank you for listening!

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
