Hi, Marc-Andre Seguin here,
As you may have read in the "about me" page, I'm a pro jazz guitarist living in Montreal. I also teach on the side and take care of JazzGuitarLessons.net
I have numerous requests from visitors of this website wanting to either hear my playing or purchase my CD. It's finally here! I just released this EP titled "The Time it Took". It's a trio album (guitar / bass / drums) featuring 5 original compositions of mine.
Tracks 2 and 4 are inspired from the great jazz standards "Beautiful Love" and "Moon River". They are contrafacts, approximately the same chord changes with a new melody on top.
On the album, I'm accompanied by two wonderful local musicians : Alain Bourgeois (drums) and Marczin Garbulinski (bass). I'm glad to have the opportunity of playing with such dedicated and distinguished jazzmen.
This CD was 100% indepently produced : the recording, mixing, mastering, duplication and promotion were all carefully executed without the help of a record label or producer.
So, if you wish to show your support now's a good time! I'm simply looking to sell enough copies to "break even" in the financial department. Indie jazz = indie financing from my own pockets! (-:
Sheet Music : A PDF compilation of all chart to the tunes is available upon purchase.
Here's my "blurb" (spoken in the video), along with audio samples. Hope you like what you hear!
For a small fee, you can access the entire album in high quality mp3 files. Buy directly on CdBaby.com
The main advantage or ordering a physical CD it that you will also receive the entire album in mp3s right after your payment.
You get best of both worlds : download the mp3s right now and I ship the CD the next working day. You get to listen right now and your CD will arrive by mail soon!
Payments by paypal in Canadian Funds. $15 for US & Canada; $20 in other countries. Shipping and handling included in price.
