Tu música me provoca admiración profunda.  Aúnas la “inspiración” con la minuciosidad de tu trabajo.  Hay algo como de delicada orfebrería musical. Nada casual.  Muy bella esta tocata!!!

A proposed soundtrack that uses the sounds of jazz to convey car horns, sudden stops, traffic that first crawls and then speeds, with scurrying pedestrians, splashes, and the tapping of windshield wipers.

I wrote this 12 years ago when I had the ambition to produce a short film. There's still no movie, but I've updated the music to a very chill 69 bpm for a jazzy Rainy Commute — something to enjoy while the traffic rushes by on a gloomy, wet day.

=== LYRICS ===

[A1]
A full moon is rising big and bright
It’s begging for you and me to share its light
And to step outside and make some fun
So what do you say?
Come on

[A2]
Let’s meander down the avenue
Just me and you and a path for two
There’s plenty to do and the night is young
So what do you say?
Come on

[Bridge]
Out there, neon signs are dancing
It’s a carnival of colour and wow 
It is entrancing

[A3]
Adventure waits for you and me
So share some thrills and keep me company
Just grab your smile and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
Come on 

[Instrumental for a tap dancing duo in the style of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers]

[Bridge (2)]
Tonight, the moonlight seems to be calling
It’s like magic fills the air 
And it is enthralling

[A3 (2)]
A night of nights waits for you and me 
Let’s enjoy being footloose and fancy free
Just pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say-yay? Hey come on

[TAG]
Pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say?
Hey! Take a break
It’ll be worth it
Trust me, you’ll love it
I promise
Come on

What Do You Say? (Let's Get Gone)

This composition is a fusion of classical, blues, and jazz, inspired by the bittersweet dance between nostalgia and hope. At times, the music reflects a longing for the past, with its bluesy tones echoing moments of fear or uncertainty about what once was. Yet, the vibrant jazz elements and classical melodies remind us never to regret the journey. It’s about embracing the present, with all its beauty, and looking forward to the future with optimism. This piece is a reflection of growth—acknowledging the past while celebrating the hope and promise of what lies ahead.

Whispers of Yesterday

A high-energy rock ‘n’ roll throwback with all the love and respect for the legendary Chuck Berry! Inspired by Johnny B. Goode, this track blends electrifying guitar solos, soulful female vocals, and classic doo-wop harmonies, all wrapped up in OMGG Band’s unique style.

Featuring:
Oceana - Powerful lead vocals, stepping beyond her usual repertoire!
Gigi - Ripping up the fretboard, fingers bleeding with every note!
Special thanks to Erik Mattson for an unforgettable saxophone solo!

If you love 1950s rock, rhythm & blues, and doo-wop harmonies, this one’s for you! Let us know what you think – we love you! ❤️

In Search of Purpose
There is a moment, imperceptible and fleeting, when the soul realizes it has no direction. It is in that instant that the search begins. "In Search of Purpose" is not an answer, but a question that repeats itself, reflecting, dissolving, and returning—never fully disappearing.
The first notes are hesitant steps on a path veiled in uncertainty. Each sound lingers in the air, caught between the desire to move forward and the fear of finding nothing at all. The piano does not tell a story—it listens. It is the breath of possibility, the echo of something just beyond reach.
Beneath the melody, the bass moves like a silent river—at times tranquil, at times restless. The harmonies fracture, chase one another, searching but never quite touching. Every chord is a crossroad, every dissonance a doubt made flesh.
And then, a flash. A thought, perhaps an illusion. The melody lifts for a moment, as if it has grazed the edge of some hidden truth. But truth, as we know, is a reflection on water—one breath is enough to scatter it into a thousand ripples.
There is no resolution, because there cannot be. The search continues, an endless cycle of what we are and what, perhaps, we will never be.

Released on Piano Day 2025, In Search of Purpose is a deeply personal piece born from the quiet urge to understand.

Each note moves like a thought taking shape—sometimes clear, sometimes uncertain—gently flowing like waves under a quiet sky.
There’s no rush, no destination. Just a moment of presence, of listening.
The piano doesn’t tell a story—it reflects a feeling. A stillness, a question, a breath.
In Search of Purpose is for those moments when you don’t know where you’re going, but you still choose to keep walking.

Because I am pretending that spring is a gentle thing.  Actually it can be quite violent--but I'm in charge of this music so it's gentle. :)

Fading Echoes

Pianist, composer & arranger. https://linktr.ee/juandiegofidalgo
I completed higher studies in classical piano at the  “Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu" in Barcelona.  My background encompasses many different styles, and has allowed me to develop my own talent as arranger and composer.  I have worked as an accompanist in the classes of prestigious musicians and I regularly perform in recitals for voice or for piano and choir,  I have been part of several chamber ensembles, performing an extensive catalogue of works and authors from the Renaissance to the 20th Century.  I have combined my work as accompanist and classical pianist with the piano parts / musical direction of numerous musicals and other productions. You may also want to check my YouTube channel and Score Exchange profiles for video scores of most of my compositions and arrangements of other authors' works.
