Bio
John Pedersen is a contemporary keyboardist from Southern California. He expresses his individuality as a composer in a variety of genres such as smooth jazz, chill out lounge, funk, Latin influenced rock, solo piano and electronica. Infectious melodies padded by a lush soundscape anchored by a hip rhythm section are some ways to describe John's style. Hypnotic grooves and inspired musicianship are another. Drawing from the rich traditions of African-American, Latin and Native American music, John weaves together an enjoyable multi-cultural experience.
About
John Pedersen writes instrumental music designed to connect emotionally with the listener. It has what is known as the "wow" effect. It touches you deeply and lifts you. Along with John's multi-keyboard approach, superb guest musicians on sax, flute, guitar, bass and drums are featured. The result is a full band sound that just flat out sizzles and rocks.
John's music can be summed up as follows: A masterful collection of eclectic influences woven together into a compelling tapestry of lush soundscapes. Jazz, ambient and progressive elements are frequently anchored by a rock solid rhythm section. Diverse ethnic percussion on many tracks, provides for a memorable multicultural experience.
