Search - John Ragusa :: Deseo

Deseo (translated as...desire) features an infectious musical blend of Smooth Jazz, Instrumental Pop, and New Age which will captivate listeners with its catchy, original compositions, first-class performances, and clever re-workings of some of pop music's finest tunes. Master multi-instrumentalist, John Ragusa, is a veritable one-man orchestra delivering jaw-dropping and passionate performances on a full-range of traditional western flutes including: C flute, Alto flute, Bass flute and Piccolo - as well as wood flutes, pennywhistles, harmonica, jaw harp, pocket trumpet, didgeridoo, and conch shell. Teamed with Producer and fellow Moonwatcher Music recording artist, Joe Taylor, the duo creates a diverse palate of musical textures, distinctive arrangements, and breathtaking soundscapes with their all-star cast of Guest Artists (vocalist Beth Nielsen Chapman & pianist Rob Silvan) and featured musicians (Jeff Franzel/Piano, Steve Holley/Drums, Paul Ossola/Bass, and Alan St. Jon/Hammond Organ & Vocals). Deseo is an impressive platform for this virtuoso musician to showcase his exceptional talents and possibly steal the Smooth Jazz spotlight in 2008.
