Guitarjonz Jazz Project
My newest project and best work to date. I'm a big fan of Allan Holdsworth and Al Di Meola. I've been writing instrumental rock pieces for a few years now and got tired of playing solo's/melodies in one key. So with the help of my great friend and bass player extraordinaire Eric Harris, I started writing and recording more hi-tech,progressive and jazzy pieces. What started out as a side project turned out to be a full fledged jazz cd. Lots of chord/key changes and I melodically articulate each chord one by one. So you never loose track of the key center no matter how many key/chord changes I go through. Complex chord changes and melodies but I keep the melody line very friendly. So these tracks are very easy to listen to. I also applied my Chillout influence so these songs have a great vibe/groove. I hope you like these tracks as much as I enjoyed working on them.
