Album description

Fortadelis Promo Banner

Dear listener,
this is my third album released under Creative Commons Licence and it's quite different then previous two releases. In contrast to "Ephemeris" and "Fortadelis" which are electronic new age ambient albums, "Convergence" is another story because it's jazzy and groovy, relaying on warmth of a retro lounge instruments such as Feneder Rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer and jazz guitar licks backed up with plenty of bass and drum groove.  
So what is it ? It a lounge nujazz album and it's named so because it is a true convergence of my musical ideas and themes in a jazz field in last ten years. I hope that my musical style is still recognizable through melodies, harmonies, progressions and  improvisations and I also hope that you'll like it and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. It was really a big challenge for me to complete and release this album.
To make long story short - play it and enjoy it !  
Your feeback would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day and best regards,
Fortadelis

Smooth, Jazzy, Chilled to perfection! I can't get enough of this! Takes me to the beach, grillin' chillin', sunnin' groovin'!! Love it!

It's so absolutely admirable the lightness and facility with which this album delivers himself, that coming to the end becomes inevitably a restart, even without noticing it, most of the times. Very inspired and well accomplished. Sounds good, because it's good... excellent, better saying.

An album to retain and listen often.

A refreshingly innovative cd to treasure and play over and over again.Beautiful s-m-o-o-t-h-j-a-z-z to savour or fill the air with background music.

Thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing playing in the background it keeps the mood in balance.
But it just never seems to go beyond that, it needs something to progress from very good to Great.
A mixed brass meddely of solos floating on top would force one to perhaps be less comfortable and take more notice of the excelent music.

I couldn't believe I have missed this Fortadelis album . . . I must have been saving it for a sweet time later . . . so here it is . . . beautiful . . . lush jazz . .. gives me a lift as bright and light as a sun beam . . . ah yes and a smile on my face. Each funky jazzy piece lighting me up brighter than the last one. This is happy making music, quirky, and with great walking bass lines, vocals, extraordinary keyboarding, drums . . . the whole kit . . .

"Rain of Clouds" with a powerful hitting intro and the deep ominous music to follow made me think of the dark rainy days of Winter. This song was less light and bright with its slower tempo and remarkable rainy day emotions, but it also brought in some of the lighter brass to twinkle hopefully like sun rays slanting through an embracing cloud.

This is excellent stuff to listen to as you sit and chat quietly with your lover, "After Hours" (with that dancing piano) will get you in the mood to relax and enjoy a warm embrace . . . or close your eyes and walk through your day again, "Sidewalk" with a happy stroll . . . dream about your tomorrows and that sunny day just around the corner, with that exquisite "South Breeze," melodic and harmonious to the nth degree, riding the waves with the most beautiful piano ever and companionable guitar . . . OH I could listen to that one forever . . . must be from Heaven!

Music falls like raindrops from the fingers of Fortadelis . . . I think he must be a genius to be able to compose such a profoundly beautiful album . . each song a new painting with its own unique display of vibrant colors and images that cannot be denied. . .
