SUBJECT: Motown Pianist Jay D. Kilgus Is Back
With His Sophomore Release "Notes From Cloud Nine"!
Livonia, Michigan, May 1, 2011 - As a native from Motown, Jay D. Kilgus has been playing the piano since age 5. Having studied music under the direction of private instructors and professional musicians and mentors, his grasp of music and what it took to be a performer was quickly attained. Playing in a wide variety of music venues and being part of many bands and ensembles has led him to begin creating arrangements that deal with everyday life.
Much of his content stems from having played all around the country and realizing the distinction of the people surrounding him. He places an importance of relating to his audience on a very deep level. The end result is an intimate sound that breaks generational gaps and offers a smooth and completely original new sound. This latest album offers a “nu-jazz” pop piano style with unique multi-mix instrumentals. It truly displays the work of a musician who has been tirelessly working to perfect his craft.
Kilgus is often referred to as an entertainer who plays "music to fit the mood.” He puts his emphasis on composing pieces that go well beyond simply sounding good. “Each song is composed and arranged in such a way that allows the listener the freedom to paint their own mental portrait created by the mood and movement of the music” states Mr. Kilgus. It is the deep reflection and memorable rhythms contained within his music that makes it perfect at virtually any moment. With the vast landscape of sounds, it allows a sundry experience with every listen and brings a serenity that can soothe your soul.
In addition to his ability to display a keen sense of professionalism as a well seasoned entertainer, there is also an independent aspect to what Kilgus does. The newest CD "Notes from Cloud Nine" was recorded in his private studio using elements designed for independent musicians. This gives the album a rich and uninhibited sound; an unspoiled form of music composed by a musician passionate about what he does.
His unique ability to capture the mood and offer sounds tailored to cover a variety of emotions is what has made Kilgus stand out in the competitive industry of music. His recent up-close and personal CD release concert production featured his new CD “Notes From Cloud Nine,” which took the audience on a serene musical flight to Cloud Nine. Mr. Kilgus is also in the process of recording future projects, which will offer more original arrangements designed to cover a wider spectrum of contemporary sounds and rhythms.
Two great albums from Jay D. Kilgus including "Notes from Cloud Nine" and his previous album "A Chord of Three Strands" are currently available on his website http://www.pianopleasures.com and will soon be made available on Amazon MP3, iTunes, Rhapsody, Spotify, Digistation and dozens more.
