Hustle

Co-Produced by D.S. Wilson and multi-hit artist/producer Adam Hawley.  Providing nearly endless excitement, the harmonies in Leave It To The Gods splash forward with a moderate groove. The main melody finds the right balance between substance and catchiness to stay in the listener's ear after the first listen, without being repetitive. Behind the saxophone, Wilson commands the spotlight with ease. He maintains a solid tone, fine phrasing, and non-aggressive approach to make Leave It To The Gods an easy listen. The track, produced by Wilson and Adam Hawley, boasts a polished sound and consistent, relaxed mood. Overall, Leave It To The Gods by D.S. Wilson is a stellar new Smooth Jazz tune that will keep listeners entertained and chilled out.

Darren Styles - Us Against The World (Alternative Rock Version) [Instrumental Sneak Preview]

“Devil At Your Door” is an unashamed celebration of the jazz swing era, delivered in uptempo with thought provoking lyrics:

The Devils at my door 
But I won’t ever let him in 
The Devil always wants more 
For him, theres never enough sin 

Run Baby Run, the devils on your heels 
Run Baby Run, he knows 
Run Baby Run. He knows how you want to feel 
He’ll give you all you think you want 
Lure with traps of tease and taunt 
Run Baby Run, here he comes… 

The Devils on my floor, he says 
Let me crawl into your bed 
The Devil never sleeps but he’ll 
Give you a place to lay your head 

The Devils in my heart, he claws 
His way to my core 
The Devil tells me I’m indestructible 
But at my insecurities he gnaws 

The Devils after each of us 
He does not discriminate 
The Devil must be turned away 
Or he will decide your fate 

Run Baby Run, the devils on your heels 
Run Baby Run, he knows 
Run Baby Run. He knows how you want to feel 
He’ll give you all you think you want 
Run Baby Run, here he comes…

Devil At Your Door

Peter Calandra is a prolific composer and keyboard player who has been immersed in the New York City music scene for most of his life. He has scored over 100 films and written over 2000 compositions for television. He's composed music for every major television network including the FIFA World Cup Theme for FOX Sports, the Special Olympics World Games and Invictus Games Theme for ESPN as well as writing music for the Kennedy Center Honors on CBS in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Calandra garnered acclaim for composing the music to Jellysmoke, a film which won the Los Angeles Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, and Unknown Soldier, a film which won the Los Angeles and Philadelphia Film Festivals and also was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. His solo albums are wonderfully diverse, spanning world music, Christmas music, jazz, contemporary jazz, new age, pop, and neo classical.
The thread throughout his music is the lyrical expressiveness of the compositions and purity and purposefulness of the musicianship. Two of his recent albums First Light (2015) and The Road Home (2017) were nominated for a Zone Music Reporter Award. As a keyboard player he performed in the Broadway productions of Miss Saigon (for 10 years), The Lion King, Les Miserables, The Phantom Of The Opera, and Little Shop Of Horrors. In addition to his Broadway resume -- which includes first chair keyboard player positions for many of those productions -- he has also performed with the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra, NY Pops Orchestra, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Don Cherry, Aretha Franklin, Allen Ginsberg, Annie Golden, Donna McKechnie, Lillianne Montevecchi, and he spent 16 years as the keyboard player in the NYC-based Climax Band, the creative vehicle for artist and musician Larry Rivers.

Calandra's prismatic experience and artistry allows him to inhabit a multitude of genres, conjure up a diverse selection of moods and emotions, and work within a broad array of mediums. "I don't try to define anything because I find that, as a creative person, when you put something in a box, you limit the creative flow," Calandra says. In addition to his keyboard and compositional skills, he is also an accomplished guitarist and multifaceted studio engineer versed in the arts of tracking and mixing.

Currently, he's on the faculty at the Aaron Copland School Of Music at Queens College, CUNY teaching Audio/MIDI, Film Scoring and Music Composition to both graduate and undergraduate students. Peter is also a Yamaha Endorsed Artist.
