Holiday Jazz Track Feature: Michael Dulin-We Three Kings Track

If you ever feel like you’re in the mood for some solo piano music with jazz and the Holiday spirit, look no further than the latest track from Michael Dulin covering the timeless classic “We Three Kings.”

It is one of my personal favorites because of its melody and meaning. To hear it performed with singularity and with such elegance is another treat for the senses.

The cover art, with its regal gold crowns and seasonal colors, alongside Michael, looks like a Christmas card. And how perfect is that, considering what the artist is trying to convey through his fingers?

With each successive track release, Michael Dulin has captured my attention. His ability to include every intricacy of the music and meaning takes a song to another level of sophistication and enjoyment.

“We Three Kings” is a reminder of the importance and meaning of a holiday and of how music can mold and shape it within a non-typical genre while still maintaining its essence. Michael Dulin has succeeded in doing that.

Michael Dulin’s piano magic returns with his latest track release, “Slow Burn.” This is a jazz instrumental track that will get your attention.

The title, “Slow Burn,” hints at a journey of anticipation and discovery. This track, like a slow burn, allows ample time for a listener to savor every note, building anticipation for the next musical revelation.

This is instrumental jazz, featuring numerous transitions and diverse elements. As the artwork suggests, the piano keys are ablaze with passion and color. And jazz typically has those two attributes that give it that crucial element that can transcend time.

The music is a delightful exploration of the transitory nature of jazz. In a short span, Michael Dulin manages to touch upon the diverse styles within the genre, showcasing the complexity, excitement, and color that jazz can offer.

“Slow Burn” is not just a track; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the essence of jazz music. It eloquently speaks the language of jazz, letting the music itself pay a respectful homage to this timeless genre.

Contemporary New Age Instrumental Review: Michael Dulin-My Beloved

Release Date: January 20, 2015

Label: Indie

Website

Michael Dulin has released several recordings over the years but never one as personal as My Beloved. It is his special ode to his wife.

Dulin’s style is flowing and purposeful and it always has been on all of his releases. He is an extremely talented pianist that is adept at translating his feelings through the ivory keys.

Each track focuses on an enduring love and the beauty and passion that it can bring in a couple’s life. Relationships are a work in progress and too many people run away at the onset of difficulties. This is a testament to his commitment to marriage and his wife.

“Beloved” is the most poignant and meaningful to the artist and as a listener I can understand why. Its sheer beauty and magnificence transcends all barriers and time becomes merely a concept to ponder.

“Devotion” has a title alone that supports the meaning of holy matrimony. It is the perfect follow up to “Beloved.” It goes hand in hand with the meaning and purpose of this recording.

The album closer “Rhapsody” exudes clarity and beauty with a definite accent on the different colors a musician such as Dulin can create within the music. The pace creates joy and peace but it maintains an energy and buoyancy that closes out the album with strength and definition.

Michael Dulin has produced a brilliant palette of tasteful instrumentals that brings one instrument to the forefront without a single distraction. The only focus is the piano and I found it very enjoyable and quite amazing how one remarkable instrument can convey so many emotions and a lifetime of love and devotion.

Featured Track: Michael Dulin-My Beloved

Michael Dulin's new album My Beloved is set for release in January of 2015. The title track is most impressive and puts the album into proper perspective while delivering the intended message.

Dulin's piano expertise brings forth images of what commitment and love should be. Without words you would think that would be difficult to express however he gets it done through his nimble fingers.

Sit and back and listen to "My Beloved" now.
