Sorry about the clapping on this one; some drunk lady was trying and failing to keep the beat. Anyways, I'm on flute again for this one, though we really stretch it out, so I don't get to solo until about 10 minutes in. Still, fun stuff. Enjoy! :)

My Funny Valentine (Live)

A nice funky version of "Oleo" with me on the sax again at the Williamsburg Music Center!

Playing some uptempo tunes like Mr. PC during the jam session at the Williamsburg Music Center.

Mr. PC (Live)

A nice version of My Romance, sung by a fellow artist at a jam session in Smalls Jazz Club. I'm the saxophone player after the trombone solo. Was aiming to have a relaxed, open feel to my solo, in contrast to the busier styles I commonly hear at this location, and in New York in general. I felt that it was greatly appreciated by the audience, and hopefully by you as well.

My Romance

This is a recording from one of my recent performances with my new group, The Jazz Knights. We were playing at a private event in Raleigh, NC and had a relatively quiet atmosphere for the most part, so thankfully there's very little background noise in this recording.

Someday My Prince Will Come

Here's a composition that's been on my Patreon for a while, but now it's come to my Soundcloud as well! I had been putting some time aside each day to focus on composition, and I wanted to return to some of the basics with a focus on counterpoint/4-part harmony for this piece.  I figured a nice choral arrangement would be a good way to do that, and had the idea of a sanctuary or temple in my mind as I began to compose this.  It mainly started out as just an exercise, but as I progressed I wanted it to become more than that, and ended up with this as the result.

While getting close to finishing it, I liked the idea of imagining a progression of one's character; going from a darker, pensive, and more somber tone initially, and gradually moving towards a brighter, content, and hopeful sound as the piece continued. Between that, and the choral nature of the piece, the image of a person becoming closer to Christ began to take shape in my mind, and as I finished the piece I decided to title it accordingly. I envisioned this piece representing a person beginning their walk with Jesus, and showing their transformation by receiving the Holy Spirit and becoming closer to God, and as a result their life became fuller, richer, and more content. As a Christian myself, I've asked God to help me to use the gifts He's given me to further glorify Him. I hope my music continues to do that, and I hope that all my actions as I go through life reflect His ideals.

I had been focusing on this piece for about a month, and compared to some other compositions I've worked on in the past, this is quite a short time frame for me, so I'm pleased with the result as well as the speed, though I also do realize this is a relatively simple piece.

I humbly thank the support of my current patrons for helping to enable and inspire me to continue doing things like this, and with their continued support, I will be able to continue producing new compositions for you all.

P.S. This recording was made using MIDI, so it's not as realistic or expressive as other methods of computer based sound production or a live performance. However, I do plan on providing a better quality version of this in the future, using software, or even a live choir if funds are available for such things.

Absolution

This is a simple piece I wrote to evoke a slow, meditative, pensive mood. It's bittersweet, and somewhat empty; isolated. However it's not necessarily sad. I hope you enjoy, and as always, I appreciate any and all opinions! :) I've updated this with better audio quality than before, so it should be a bit more clear and realistic than my previous versions.

Piece Of Infinity

This track was meant to evoke a mysterious and lightly creepy tone as a character walked down a dimly lit hallway that would repeat on itself as he walked through doors. I made this for a videogame project that was unfortunately cancelled, but I'm sharing it anyways because I feel it turned out well and is good quality. As always, any comments and suggestions are appreciated!

Hallway Theme

Here's the second track from the cancelled videogame project I was working on. This one is meant to invoke unease and dread as the main character is confronted by a strange, dark voice in the alleyway of the city that reminds him of uncomfortable and painful memories. Let me know your thoughts!

Creep In The Shadows

This is the final track from the cancelled videogame project, and was meant to essentially be the introductory theme to the game. This theme was supposed to go through symbolizing an emotional journey of loneliness, melancholy, pain, and then finally acceptance as the main character confronts the memories that have haunted him for years. Let me know your thoughts!

Faux Memoir

This is a song I wrote a little while ago. The theme is simple, and meant to evoke a sense of peaceful reflection. It sounds pretty close to the way I want it, however I'm still considering a couple changes before I will call it "complete". Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Life of a Lily (Update)

This piece was written to convey a tense, creepy atmosphere, full of dread for upcoming calamity. This was my second piece written with the idea of counting down to the end of the world, my first piece being "Countdown to Chaos" which your can also hear on my profile. Please enjoy!

Discordance (Update)

I am Jordan Kane, and I have been composing since Middle School, though I did not truly begin focusing on it until late High School. I am now a college graduate, with a degree in Music, focused on Jazz Studies. I mainly play Alto Sax, though I also play Tenor, and Baritone Sax, as well as Flute, and I'm am working on improving my Clarinet skills. I currently have several finished pieces, and have several more in progress. I am constantly focusing on broadening my range of compositional styles and genres, and my main two focuses right now are a Big Band Jazz chart and an R&B ballad. My finished works include several solo piano pieces, a few instrumental quartets, a multi-movement symphonic piece, and a Big Band arrangement of "Orange Colored Sky". Most of my finished works can be listened to at soundcloud.com/jordankanemusic and I would love to hear any comments/questions you may have about my work.
