DIRK K Contemporary Jazz

   

Dirk K

 

plays Antonio Carlos Jobim

Genre: Contemporary Jazz

 

 

Date: December 4, 2007

New Release!

DIP Records 2007 91207-2

DIRK K - guitar, all instruments.
At an early age, my parents introduced me to the music of Antônio Carlos Jobim. His music featured a singer, Astrud Gilbero, the style of music was Bossa Nova. I fell in love immediately. All those great compositions were hidden somewhere in my mind for years. It wasn't until I started performing with the Brazilian singer and guitarist Kleber Jorge, that all those memories came back and as a result, I decided to record 10 of my favorite Jobim classics. I know, I am not the first one to do so, but I hope to give these compositions a new and fresh appeal with my signature Dirk K guitar sound. I dedicate this CD to my fans.

 

A great collection of  Jobim Compositions.

My Romance

Genre: Contemporary Jazz

 

 

Date: October 29, 2005

DIP Records 2005

My Romance

is a great collection of romantic music celebrating those unforgettable moments. Body and Soul, Someone To Watch Over Me, The Nearness Of You, Beautiful Love, My Romance. All of these songs sending a message of Love and Hope. This record is similar to Urban Standards and Urban Standards Vol. II because all the arrangements combine Jazz standards with contemporary grooves and flying guitar runs. This time around I added more orchestral elements such as Cello, Flugelhorn, Flutes and Strings all played with my guitar synthesizer. In addition I am introducing my new handmade classical guitar by German Vazquez Rubio. Another unique element to the record is the addition of the Mini Moog. During a recent trip to Europe, I decided to bring one back with me and found it fit perfectly with the sound of the new record. I also wanted to insure the best possible sound quality so I had the record mastered by Evren Goknar at Capitol Mastering. And as always, you will hear some outstanding performances by Leon Bisquera and C.C. Thomas Jr. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and hope you will enjoy listening to it as much I enjoyed recording it.

Urban Standards Volume II

 

You asked for it so here it is!
This is the follow up to the highly successful 
Urban Standards Urban Standards Vol. II combines some of the best American Jazz Standards ever written.  Filled with contemporary grooves and flying guitar runs, this CD is a must-have for Jazz aficionados. This album is a little more personal than it's predecessor because I performed, programmed and arranged most of instruments myself. In addition, you will hear some outstanding bass performances by C.C. Thomas and Osama Afifi.

I am extremely proud of the outcome. This great collection of music is a complete new sound experience and a new dimension of depth and excitement. This is my first compilation CD which features also new material.
