I´m a Pianist,composer and arranger and enjoy so much Jazz and Smooth Jazz

Please, take a listen to my player here with some originals:

Thanks Nathaniel!!

It´s just something I did for my playing at hotels and restaurants. Just for something different, you know?

Listen the playlists in soundcloud, probably you find something interesting there

Best Regards
Jo

I adore "Bad Romance" in all it's Lady GaGa glory ... your rendition is very very nice ... can something be laid back and upbeat at the same time??? That's what came to my mind ... this is laid back ...but still upbeat ... you still get the fun feeling of "Bad Romance" but it's laid back in a way that allows you to listen without going crazy ... and I do mean crazy in the very best way ... the way I go a little crazy every time I listen to GaGa) ... very nice! going to your RN page to hear more!

Hi Dave and Garner
Thank you so much for your words!! I don´t deserve them!!, really

Well at my reverbnation site I placed a lot of my own music, but to be fair, I work better on arrangements
I would like to share 1 playlist with just a selection of productions done in several countries over the last 10 years, and just the ones I have access. I did (and do) a lot of arrangements for "Big name producers" that pay me, but they keep the credits. I can´t say names, but I no longer work for many of them. I still do arrangements and deliver them to all the world
Hope you find something you like!

and this song is very special to me, hope you like it!

Thanks to all!!
PS: by the way, all the instruments you heard in all songs I played it

Blimey that was fun. The guitar line reminded me a kind of Steve Howe Steve Hacket mix. I really enjoyed the the listen thanks. BTB

Definitely not my cup of tea, cant listen to songs with foreign vocals ,what's the point ?
i get the feeling this music is very professional and slick and not really up here looking to be criticised or for advice on how to be improved, which i suppose is also a complement  ;D
goodpoints , very smooth and profesional sounding. great production.

bit to smooth for me .no offence intended i'm sure there's plenty that will enjoy it.

Hi Andy5544
Thanks anyway for the comments!!
Yes, I´m not here for the lyrics, but all about melodies. I´m a pianist and composer, and this helps me (and over 40 years as musician and over 25 years as a music and record producer) to "dress" somebody´s songs with a few instrument sounds here and there. Right now, I´m only enjoying and doing the arranging part for old and new clients and friends. That´s it

Thanks again for listening!!

Jo

with that level of experience I am sure you could provide us all with a very very well qualified (and highly valued) critique of our efforts Jo - if you were willing and able to spare the time.....

hello jo
you appear to do a tremendous amount of writing and arrangements,
do you think you could make arrangements for writing some contributions to this forum rather than just picking the flies off of your cape ?

its about give and take on here jo and you are just taking..
could lose your licence ?
