Richard James has a background in Classical and Jazz piano studying privately in New York after beginning at the age of six. He studied string bass in San Diego for several years with Bertram Turetzky and played in many local orchestras. “... great exposure to the classics. It really opens up your ears."
Richard sent a friend, Donn Trenner, samples of some of the music he composed for many different greeting cards. Donn has an incredible list of credits and has played with the legendary Charlie Parker as well as with many other Jazz greats over the years. He also conducted and played piano for the Les Brown Orchestra, Ann Margaret, Nancy Wilson, Jack Jones, Shirley Maclaine, and Bob Hope to name a few. He was the music director and played piano on the Steve Alan Show. Donn is a reputable advocate for Richard and has some very nice things to say about his composition skills like ”…. I am WORN OUT from your intense musical journey but will not go further until I tell you that you are a MAJOR talent.”
This music captures the essence of that feeling of profound loss, a couple splits up, it's the end of the world or any situation where one feels isolated and alone also could be admiring someone from afar feeling that connection will never happen, Instrumental, Dramatic, Sad Music
Lovely and light piano. This is the kind of music you will hear at the end of a romantic comedy. It tugs at all of the heartstrings we have, and then some. It's "feel good," or profound relief music. It is the kind of music which reveals the depth of feeling in the movie or drama.. Instrumental, Dramatic, Romantic Music
