Toontrack has announced the release of a new MIDI collection for its EZkeys virtual piano instrument. Played by pianist Manuel Valera, the Jazz Fusion EZkeys MIDI pack features playing styles inspired by a fusion of jazz, rock, funk and Latin.
When traditional jazz fused its melodic and harmonic spontaneity with the rhythmic energy of funk and the spirit of rock, a new genre was born. Although this was way back in the 1960s, jazz fusion as a style has continued to evolve and influence generations of players to this day. Throughout the entire lifespan of this wildly experimental musical journey, the piano has consistently been one of the leading melodic and rhythmic voices.
In this EZkeys MIDI pack, pianist extraordinaire Manuel Valera explores this vastly vibrant musical universe and takes you on an awe-inspiring ride that covers anything from the classic to the more modern. Expect adventurous harmonies, bold note choices and a tapestry of different musical ideas that seamlessly fuse into the one coherent style of music we call jazz fusion.
The pack is available from the Toontrack store and at Best Service for 29 USD/EUR.
