Few are competent enough to be called jazz players and the artist hates other peoples’ jazz, so it won’t be called Jazz. The biggest fans are normally professional musicians, music aficionados, classical music lovers, and musicians in general. The music has largely been kept a secret for decades. The Artist is a long-term survivor of HIV who been began working with music just before the diagnosis 40 years ago. The music is not made by playing the right notes, it is made by avoiding the wrong notes. Proper keyboard technique and piano playing rules were never learned so no “right notes” are off limits, the result being the music lacks the structure of most conventional music and is highly reminiscent of classical in that it sounds good, generally obeys rules, uses the proper sounds, and entertains. It lacks the normal, simple, three or four (sometimes even five) chord patterns of conventional music, often utilizing more of the keyboard as well, often the entire keyboard. The music is free but the sheet music isn’t. Sheet music currently in the Store will remain priced as is for now and any new sheet music requested will cost $20 and will then stay in the Store. The entire catalog is for sale. -Site revised for simple downloading very recently, more revisions expected.- Enjoy.
