Good Jazz I Found

Some energetic, upbeat, and sometimes gnarly tunes from my studio.  I plan to add some from other artists in the near future.

Upbeat and Energetic

Hot Summer Groove

These are the tracks that I produced this year.   Many of them took several years to complete.   Thank you to everyone who listened.

04 - John Kline - Rixile Elixir

In memory of Jeff Beck.   Drums by Magnus Brandell / Oddgrooves

John Kline - Luminescence

An instrumental smooth jazz track from my new album Hot Summer Groove to be released on 12th June. It has plenty of groove and features piano, tenor sax, drums, bass, guitars, percussion, pads, vocal fills and electric piano.

From the moment they released their debut record Genus Equus back in 2017, the duo of Mark Christianson and John P. Kline, entered into an entire realm of inventive instrumental sound with limitless potential and possibilities.  As The Music Therapy Experiment, they’ve gone on to release a brand-new record like clockwork each and every year ever since, making their latest entry – Art and Science – the fifth audibly adventurous album they’ve put out for the world to enjoy in the process of building a legacy of innovative and imaginative sound of their own design.  You are cordially invited to join the fun! 

Over the course of eleven stunning new tunes, The Music Therapy Experiment dives deep into Art and Science on every conceivable level.  Through the wildly artistic & ambitious structuring of their instrumentation, to the use of advanced technological gear in the studio, The Music Therapy Experiment proudly blurs the line between Art and Science, and proves how effective they can be when combined in tandem.  From blissfully serene melodies, to the intensity of their most supercharged moments, Mark & John surge with passion in their performances, and display how powerfully effective they are as a cohesive unit as they passionately morph through complex time-signatures, intricately played instrumentation, and genuinely unique ideas that take them enthusiastically into an unexplored universe of sound & style – real hybrid fusion guaranteed to stimulate serious brainwaves & generate good times. 

With both players competently & capably trading instruments & lead songwriting duties along the way, the latest album by The Music Therapy Experiment speaks volumes on behalf of what Mark and John are able to achieve on their own, DIY, together.  Art and Science features a spectacular wealth of professionalism from the production to their performances, yet also retains the inspired attitude, original authenticity, and spirited fun that fans around the globe know & love The Music Therapy Experiment for.  As ambitious & challenging as it was to create, the end results reveal an album that is as equally compelling as it is entertaining – Art and Science is a thought-provoking, evocative, all-out gripping record from start to finish that is filled with sensory songs & unforgettable experiences. 

From endearing & heartwarming atmospheres, to unapologetically fierce musical expressionism, Art and Science contains something uniquely special for everybody listening, and shines a bright light on their evolution in sound.  Through their remarkable talents combined in an array of dazzling instrumentation, and the infusion of both Art and Science within their songs, The Music Therapy Experiment has created a collage of style that celebrates vibes found from the east to the west in a set-list that knows no borders or limitations when it comes to entertainment. 

Out and available now on every major online platform, join The Music Therapy Experiment this year for the official release of Art and Science, and be ready for a vibrant dose of sensational musicianship, riotously addictive sound & radiant originality, that puts the pure unbridled chemistry between Mark and John on full display like never before.

3. The Music Therapy Experiment - Akhal Teke (Remix)

John Kline (guitars, guitar synth, keyboards, bass) and Mark Christianson (drums) with some experimentation that soothes the ears.   You can definitely hear John's Pat Metheny roots on this one.   Ask Mark to tell you about his drum track sometime.

Cósmica Armonía

Es mi alma aquella esfera luz
donde suelo estar
es el sentimiento que me guía ya
mi corazón es un reflejo que soñé, encontré
la esencia
contempla en mi
cósmica armonía

Mundos Hoy

Cosmica Armonia

02 - Cosmica Armonia - Nulyra, Lugares Vivos

A delicate nylon-string guitar flirts with a velvety acoustic bass. A piano caresses and unsettles us. A longing angel’s voice lures us. “Last Luna” isn’t just the spellbinding debut song by Mythic Blue Junk. It’s a first taste of a vibrant new genre that will transmute jazz, pop, and blues with ancient myth and futuristic vision. This alchemical elixir reveals enchanting, intertwining realms of fantasy music, fiction, art, and poetry. Enter and never leave.

Mother Of The Worlds

Last Luna

Some dark but simple math prog.

Written by Mark Christianson (Drums, bass, guitar) and John Kline (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards).   Engineered and produced by John Kline

From Dr. John:   Mark Christianson and I wrote this a few years ago, or shall I say we completed it.   I decided to re-eq the mix a bit and, well, I kind of like it's twisted darkness.  Mark has a knack for unusual rhythms and melodies.  

Mark of course played drums.  Duh!  He also wrote the strange rhythm guitar part.  It was not easy to learn, but I ended up performing it while he played drums.   He later added bass, and when nobody else was looking, I sang, played keyboards, and did some guitar shenanigans.

The Music Therapy Experiment - 777

Four Walls

Written, performed, engineered, and produced  entirely by John Kline (guitars, keyboards, bass, drums).   Butterflies are a symbol for metamorphosis, change, adaptation, transformation, and our very life energy.

Wizard of Lepidoptera

Wizard Of Lepidoptera

Demiangel Aramina's theme song. Acoustic piano features in this instrumental track. Electric guitar accompanies. Listen for 3 overlapping melodies, woven together on the piano, guitar, and bass. Also listen for  acoustic upright bass on the left, and electric bass on the right. Would enjoy hearing your comment.

Silver-Eyed Angel

This song features Blue Axist on nylon-string acoustic guitar, and Gigi Keffes on acoustic upright bass,

Wandering Essence

The 'Incompetence Epidemic' seems to be in the news a lot lately so I thought this name was timely.

A One

Wet Present is a record label, wholly owned by John Kline, for "The Music Therapy Experiment." and "John Kline.." 

John P. Kline, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and multi-instrumentalist whose music spans classical, rock, jazz, and New Age. A lifelong admirer of classical composers and performers, Kline brings that sensibility into a catalogue that moves easily between heavy guitar work, improvisational passages, and ambient soundscapes.

He composes, performs, engineers, mixes, and masters his own recordings, shaping music that is eclectic yet deeply personal. His solo releases sit alongside his work under the name The Music Therapy Experiment (TMTE), a project built on collaborations with guest musicians while always centered on Kline’s compositions and recordings. A handful of tracks feature him alone, while others highlight the voices of collaborators, including Mark Christianson. The project’s name came from Kline’s own candid description of himself during a difficult time: “a music therapy experiment.”

Across all of his work, the common thread is curiosity. Whether listeners connect with reflective textures, jazz-inflected improvisation, or the drive of rock guitar, Kline’s music treats sound as an open-ended experiment — sometimes calm, sometimes restless, always human.
