Playing has been a hobby for me since I was 10 years old. I never really became serious about playing until I was in college studying electronics and computer technology. Something went haywire within me. All I wanted to do was play guitar. I realized finishing school was more practical. So here I am mainly playing for fun. I guess that's what it's really all about. Having fun. I also like to teach. One can also learn a lot from teaching. It works both ways. Teaching privately is an art. Every...

Angela, Piero and all the artists who participated to the recording of the band's last (and third) album have a jazz background and this jazz influence can be felt in most of the compositions. Their music, however, is neither mainstream jazz nor the clichè that has come to be known as 'smooth jazz' in recent years....
Dian Pratiwi Born in Jakarta I started to sing in the Primary Schools choir as a lead singer at the age of 13. After listening to Sarah Vaughns Misty for the first time, I fell in love with Jazz.

Smooth Jazz for the debonair late night connoiseur. It's all about the music. The 'Playground' is the stage. Warren Butrico co-wrote and arranged the album. He is an extremely talented keyboard aficionado. Done a lot. Mostly self-taught. Glenn Bacon co-wrote and produced the project. He is a singer/songwriter with roots from the sixties Greenwich Village folk/rock music era. Initial Approach is an instrumental smooth jazz album. We hope you will enjoy their work.
