New Jazz Piano Method by Bradley Sowash

2007-04-07T10:55:00.001-07:00

I'm pleased to announce that my new jazz piano method, titled "That's
Jazz" published by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company, is now available
nationally in most print music stores and online retailers. You don't
have to be a jazzer to use it. In fact, I wrote it with traditional
(non-jazz) pianists and teachers in mind,
so I hope you'll take a look.

In lieu of a blurb, here's a description/review from
http://www.PianoAtPepper.com:

"Fun and fantastic! Great on its own or as a supplement to any piano
method, That's Jazz is perfect for the adolescent and adult student
who wants to learn the main styles of jazz (swing, Latin and rock) and
have loads of fun playing the piano. Written by acclaimed jazz
pianist, composer and educator Bradley Sowash, this method will give
your students a huge dose of inspiration. The three books in the
series progress from the early intermediate to late intermediate
levels. Each book offers awesome original jazz tunes by Bradley
Sowash. All aspects of playing jazz are clearly explained in
digestible doses. Students are given plenty of opportunities to try
new concepts and to improvise. The enclosed CD includes a performance
of each tune in the respective collection, including the duet part.
Highly recommended, especially for the teen student."

iTunes credit towards the rest of the album

2007-03-29T15:11:00.001-07:00

Today, Apple introduced the "Complete My Album" feature Thursday on
its iTunes Store. It now gives a full credit of 99 cents for every
track the user previously purchased and applies it toward the
purchase of the complete album.

For instance, most albums on iTunes cost $9.99 so a customer who
already bought three tracks can download the rest of the album for
$7.02.

So, if you've ever bought any tracks from my CDs on iTunes, but not
the whole CD, and you would like to get the rest of the CD, Apple
will honor this retroactively up to 90 days from now, for any
purchases you made within the past four years (since iTunes first was
launched).

Here are all my links to my iTunes albums:

album.

Here is more information about the new 'Complete My Album' feature on

New Video Peace Experiment posted on MetaCafe.com

2007-03-22T12:59:00.000-07:00

The instrumental music is Mystical Myst from the CD Lavender Dreams by Steven Cravis

The 64 Second Peace Experiment
This is an experiment about exposing ourselves to positive
statements relating to peace between ourselves and the rest of
the universe. It only takes 64 seconds of your day. There are more...
no racial, religious or political statements though some
phrases could be considered neutrally spiritual. I mixed in a
section of my original composition Mystical Myst. If you feel
peaceful after watching this, please take 64 seconds out of
each day and maybe we can make a change on the planet through
our focused intention.
Even those who do not speak English can benefit from this as
I've put much intention into the video file, including the
intention to transcend language. One more note, you can try to
read all the fast changing phrases, but the effectiveness
might be greater by relaxing eye focus on the blue circle.
Peace.
