CAPTIVATING AND SWINGING: THE BLENDING OF JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC COME ALIVE
February 15th, 2010 (New York City) – Following on the heels of his successful TUSCAN PRELUDE: Jazz Under Glass (CAP 1013) and in that spirit, jazz pianist JAY D’AMICO has gone back to the well and drawn great results with NOCTURNE : Jazz Under Glass (CAP 1021). NOCTURNE is an amalgam of American Jazz and European classical motifs. Melodic – Soothing – Captivating –Swinging – this album represents Jay’s latest efforts at composing and interpreting his own music. “In some ways I’ve been influenced by various forms found in classical music and they’re evident here, but other compositions on this album go beyond that.” This is first class contemporary, adult instrumental music. ”I always want the melody to imitate the human voice and most importantly, it always has to swing.”
Jay’s skilled and insightful piano performance is supported by THE JAY D’AMICO TRIO with Hinton/Ben Brown taught bassist GREG D’AMICO and the sensitive and tasty drummer VINNIE FAVATA…a most elegant trio.
