Two . . .

. . . more days . . .



Creative musician, Baltimore-based Ray Jozwiak offers recordings and performances of eclectic, instrumental solo piano (and piano-based) compositions that have been referred to as 'Fractured Jazz' laced with generous amounts of 'Improvisational Terror Tactics.'

Ray has been nominated for a WAMMIE Award in the Jazz Instrumentalist category, named Baltimore Magazine's BEST LOUNGE PIANIST and was a finalist in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for the composition ALWAYS YOU.

Performances in and around Baltimore include the 13th Floor Lounge-The Belvedere, The Kiss Cafe, Gardel's Supper Club, The Full Moon Saloon, The Baltimore Songwriters Association, Border's Books and Music, GBMC, Tyson's Tavern, Elk Run Vineyards and appears regularly at The Brewer's Alley Songwriters' Showcase.

For the last couple of years, I have been working with founders of the Baltimore icon prog-band OHO (and former members of Ful Treatment) for a present-day OHO power trio crankin' out OHO classics, new material and selected 'covers' when live for your aural stimulation. Check it out at http://www.ohomusic.com

Ray's music (CDs CHROMATOSE, CRITIC'S CHOICE and PUT A FINGER ON IT and FOR THE RIDE and digital downloads-only ANOTHER SHOT, AMBIENCE & WINE, BLACK & WHITE THEN BACK and his latest "2014") are available for purchase at http://www.cdbaby.com/all/rjozwiak as well as a host of cyber-outlets for download.

The music incorporates, conjures, channels, borrows, steels, and respectfully pays homage to cartoon theme songs, childrens novelty tunes, pop, country, Polish folk songs and dances, hymns, the Beatles and the British invasion, prog and art rock from Gentle Giant to Egg, Myron Floren and Lawrence Welk, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, Merle Haggard, Cannonball Adderly, Vince Guraldi, Wynton Kelly, Fats Waller, McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Eric Dolphy, Frank Zappa, Keith Jarrett, Thelonious Monk, Elvis Costello, Ani DiFranco, Bob Zacharcko, Jay Graboski and David Reeve and more.

Next . . .

. . . year. . .

. . .  is . . .

. . .  2014 . . .


2014 is my new, digital-download only, solo, instrumental piano music release which brings you up to date with my musical mind. A lot has happened in the past year since the release of Black & White Then Back. Devotion to the iconic Baltimore prog/folk/jazz/pop/rock band OHO has exerted a significantly positive effect upon me and my music in addition to adding perspective and richness to my life. The reconnecting with these and other good folks from my past, both musicians and non-musicians,  has brought additional spice to my thoughts, reflections and philosophies and contributes to my continuing growth and evolution.

What more appropriate name for such a musical collection than 2014?

2014 will be available through digital distribution only at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/RayJozwiak April 8, 2014

What's being and what's been said . . .
". . . From the first note we are swept off our feet by a sultry sound of tantalizing notes and dashing fingers. The album’s mood is kept consistent throughout all tracks. The music engulfs you and the notes just relax your body. . . " (Kyzer Davis of http://www.bracketandbracket.com)

". . . One can hear little snippets of this and that running throughout his work, just enough to put you in the mind of a long forgotten favorite before he turns it inside out or upside down . . ." (Joe Hartlaub, http://www.music-reviewer.com/)

". . . He tries to play every note on the keyboard a few times, but puts special emphasis on the ones in the middle, as they wear out fastest… While running his tests, he channels Erroll Garner and sometimes Thelonious Monk, and plays himself into corners that you just don't think he’s going to get out of – but, wait – a quick wriggle and there he is gliding across the open floor… " (Rod Deacey, Board Member of the Frederick Acoustic Musicians Enterprise (FAME), Musician, Performer, Writer, Poet, Organizer, Emcee, Bluesman)

I'm feeling dead. . .

. . . on my feet. I've got that stubble on my chin. Spent half the night on the job. I'm gonna bring that new account in.
There ain't no supper on the table. The lady knows just where I've been. I do the best that I am able with the limited resources I have in matters of the heart. And if it's coming down to minding my own business, it's just the business I've been minding; that I've been minding all the time. You gotta make up your mind. I always wanted to grow up shooting outlaws while riding on the back of a horse. But that just wasn't a part of the plan. My mother told me to always be a good boy. But I'm a company man. I do the best that I can. My wife and children will have to wait in line for my time 'cause I'm a company man.

This lookin' bad isn't good. The only answer is ignore it. A little pain here and there, you get some medicine and cure it. It's not that I can't take the PRESSURE. The pot is boiling all the time. It's only that I'm being measured by the powers in the boardroom above. They're always watching me. And if I miss an opportunity to make another, to make a profit they will find it. And it'll certainly be missed. Another cheek to be kissed. I always wanted to grow up shooting outlaws while riding on the back of a horse. But that just wasn't a part of the plan. My mother told me to always be a good boy. But I'm a company man. I do the best that I can. My wife and children will have to wait in line for my time 'cause I'm a company man.

I was so young and idealistic then. Couldn't see the trees for the forest most of the time until I tasted all the choicest wines. Saving money up for that rainy day. Promising a romantic getaway. Have I made a pact with the devil or is it just fate?

I was a child of the light. I always hoped to do the right things. And though they said I was bright there's still a fire inside me burning for all the riches I am missing; for all the love I never found. I wonder who she might be kissing in the middle of a cold winter night when left alone again. I wonder just what I would do if she would leave me; pack up the kids and run away without a singular goodbye. Why in the world would she try? I always wanted to grow up shooting outlaws while riding on the back of a horse. But that just wasn't a part of the plan. My mother told me to always be a good boy. But I'm a company man. I do the best that I can. My wife and children will have to wait in line for my time 'cause I'm a company man.
