Structure: part 1 - A - A - bridge - B - bridge part2 B - bridge -end My favorite!!! A very dynamic funky composition with a great flute improvisation. Altough its lenght it's worth to listen the whole track and You'll forget about the 9 minutes. - (Style: Fusion)
A very spacey and ambient track with in the first part a analogue synth sequencer and a rhodes rythmic theme that will followed up after a break with a syntbass grooved improvisation piece. - (Style: Fusion)
re "One Step", this one of almost 10 songs in the musical website. It's up-tempo jazz-based, definitely reminiscent of Randy Newman's writing, who I've admired for years. Some of my most loved pure jazz pianists are Keith Jarrett,Marian McPartland,Bill Evans,Ray Charles and too many more players to mention. This first musicals dedicated to Ella Fitzgerald who I refer to as my mother. I spent my childhood curled up next to the RCA victrola phono record player with the dog on it singing along with her and Frankie and the musicals. I was a nurse with kids for 20 yrs, but became too chronically ill by 4 yrs ago to play the piano for the first time since I was 6 yrs old,sit or even cut my meat. I exercised with no improvement until 4 yrs later,a little improvement, especially
on the piano. Otherwise I remain disabled from most every job except part-time piano teaching,
which I am told I am great at it and I can feel why. I am always smiling when I teach . The smile must be contagious as my students learn to play very well. I believe, aside from the concert players which I don't teach,as I specialize in beginners, that everyone, especially "special needs" kids, have
"multiple intelligence". When one area is almost destroyed, another is ready to
thrive, with help. I love to be that help. Please feel free to email me with collaboration, lesson requests if nearby in North Jersey, any kind and/or helpful ideas. Sincerely, Ellen Rosenfeld Credentials include honors at Columbia University Master's program 1998, and a website award for my first kids musical multi-media website. Also performed the musical I created, produced directed at a day camp where I was a Nurse as well before I fell too ill to work, and several years ago sang an hour long show of standards with an accompanist in an
8th avenue club in New York City. - (Style: Folk Jazz)
This is "The" Love Song. Smooth, Soprano sax ballad. I had a vision of a beautiful bride walking down the aisle to meet her prince charming, while my Soprano Sax painted a musical canvas. The groom motioned his arm out for her; as if "Take My Hand". - (Style: Smooth Jazz)
