Album Notes

The music, the sound, is striking, surprising, sensitive, unique, international. It grabs your imagination, crosses boundaries. It s jazz, easy listening, middle of the road (MOR.) This visualizing Dutch ballad hits deep in the soul and gives new meaning to “Nederlandse muziek.”

Black River (ascap)presents John Reynolds! This (Dutch)CD single, "Ik vraag me af" (I ask myself)is a new preview to the up and coming release of the full CD (English and Dutch) "Somewhere in the Wind" coming this fall!

Apart from a focal point of expression, music has at times been John´s livelihood. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, in vocal performance, and worked throughout New England, Florida, and the California Bay Area; first folk, and later jazz and MOR (middle of the road) and R&B. John has also performed at some of the hottest jazz clubs around in New England such as Sculler’s Jazz Club and various night spots in the jazz arena, in Cambridge and the Boston area. He has also worked for the original producers of "the New Kids On The Block," among others. John´s first influences were of folk singers such as Joni Mitchell, Tom Rush, and many others.

John´s renditions have a unique international sound. They are very personal, intimate and credible. He SPEAKS to you and you listen and LIVE the song with him. Senses respond in both new and recognizable ways to his music!
