Sales and target price of $14.99, Individual tracks will be on sale for as little as .99 cents and 'mp3′ format for all portable devices. Recent credits and appearances have given new life and more importantly, exposure to a true legend of piano. Johns own words perhaps explain best: I would like to sell my music to anyone who appreciates good piano. These are some of my best efforts and represent a life-time of continued study with the best instrument. Everyone likes the aero-phone, membrain-o-phone, chord-o-phone, and ideo-phone. These instruments play only one note at a time, but the piano (which I consider a chord-o-phone) is a whole orchestra. At present I am working on personally recording all of the tunes in my head. It will take a while. The term BEVIS came when Cal Collins and I were driving down route 27 to colerain for a gig & our drummer Terry Moore noticed a little town sign BEVIS. Cal, who could never remember anyones name, had a habit of calling everyone baby, which came out BYAABIS. Terry noticed the similarity and started calling me BEVIS. It stuck and I have been known as BEVIS ever since, Later BEVIS Album Description: I dont know of any pianist who has recorded all of his storeroom of knowledge. These selections represent many years of gigs, practice, schooling and study. I would like to leave a legacy of the songs I love and some I dont. I began in the late fifties thinking all I wished to do would be to take a descent improvised chorus on blues or rythm changes. I was able to do that and went on to just be the best piano player I could be. Here they are, mistakes and all. JBB Stay tuned for upcoming announcements in the next week that will also include concert dates and engagements.
