The City (Jazz Suite)

[fabiennecard]

Este tambien me gusta muchissimo ! congratulaciones, Ron, tu eres un artista ! Joëlle-Anne

[langvarig]

Hi Ron. After dwelling in medieval times I needed to come back to the City and current times and what could be more convenient than your brilliant jazzcomposition and video. I love the way the notes are floating around on the surface of the city wrapping the eveningligt in glistering music.

And with joy I recognized Copenhagen in the third picture in the introduction - the man playing guitar is standing in Nyhavn, Copenhagen. I guess it isn't you -but I think you would enjoy being here.

John

[13crickets]

@langvarig Greetings, John. Thank you very much for your kind words. My colleague, Fiona Flores, is responsible for all the beautifully detailed images. It pleases me very much that she included Copenhagen. In my earlier videos, I used a camera but I didn't like being in the videos very much so I included some images. Then, I had a moment of genius and asked Fiona to make the videos. Now, I am free to just work on compositions. Fi is so talented. Thank you again, John.

Pura Vida!!!

Ron

[srefvik]

This is just excellent! The feel that the music suits the video, and vise verca; this gives a just great experience the viewer/listener!

Stunning Awesome Brilliant

[Mpoiuz]

Very atmospheric composition and great video work. Beautiful colors in your harmonies. Thanks for sharing!

Uli

[13crickets]

@Mpoiuz Hi Uli, thanks very much for the kind comment. I seem consumed with harmony right now so much of my compositions are rather experimental (at least for me). Each one should be progressively more complex until I finally break out of this pensive mood. I enjoy the pressure-free status of being an amateur.

Thanks again for listening,

Ron

[freescorepaul]

Talk about satisfying! Fiona's visuals are stunning (and addictive!), perfectly complementing your composition, Ron (and vice-versa). Your music has a delicious ever-resolving, ever-unresolved feel to it, and is beautifully performed. I listened to the Serenade first, resulting in the final suite image of the sun rising after the whirling night cities have carried us around the globe. Thanks for another great multimedia experience!

Paul

[13crickets]

@freescorepaul Hi Paul, you are very kind to visit my channel and comment on my compositions. Your words bring much happiness to Fiona and me, especially in the light of your masterful musicianship. I am amazed by your volume of works for guitar. Your arrangements are excellent and beautifully written. I particularly like the way you present the sheets as the music plays. I plan to view all of your videos in time. Thanks again, my friend.

Ron

I seem to be on holiday while listening and watching this fine video.

Thanks for making my break. Respect to the composer Ron (!) and also for the images. Enjoyed your video a lot.

@SabMei1 Sabine, my dear friend, thank you so much for your kind words. I am very happy you enjoyed the collaboration with my esteemed colleague, Fiona.

Ron

[chamacojesus]

Absolutely fantastic video, Ron!!! Fantastic music, fantastic playing and sound, and perfectly matched with outstanding images. It is really a professional work, my friend, congratulations, I'm green with envy! (once more). I only miss a little explanation about those fantastic cities (I've recognized Madrid among them perfectly). I stay looking forward to listening to the Serenade. Hugs!

[13crickets]

@chamacojesus Jesus, my friend, thank you so much for your kindness. I smile each time I see your writing. I can tell you, the only reason you should envy me (other than perfect Costa Rican weather, wine, cold beer,reggae music, retirement, and beautiful beaches) is my wonderful colleague Fiona. Working with her is an honor. I feel certain that one day I will show you the Costa Rica I love so much. Also, I wait impatiently for your next video.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[esther2322]

[RomeSnowShower]

I am enjoying this pure form of art. The visuals are stunning and the jazz score is sophisticated and so refined.

Bellissimo!

Thanks Terry for sharing!

-Luca

[BocaFriend]

Luca, it is my joy to share in this creation. Ron & Fiona

demonstrate the result of having been graced to forge

a creative symbiosis between them which reaps such

benefit to us as listener/viewers. And their writing is

so poetic I can only think of my Roman scribe Luca!

[13crickets]

@RomeSnowShower Luca, thank you very much for you kind words. I am thankful to our mutual friend, Terry, for introducing me to your fine channel. I admire your work very much. Terry, you are a jewel.

Ron

[LillyC68]

Great, great work, Fiona and Ron!

Thumbs up and best wishes,

[nikicover]

Simply WONDERFUL!!!!!! One of the most beautiful videos ever seen on YT, ever!!! Thanks to Terry ( Bocafriend) for sharing this beauty.....I'm really definetely in love with this video, I've put it into my favs......really GORGEOUS job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My compliments!!!

Niky

[13crickets]

@nikicover Niky, I will be eternally in debt to our mutual friend (Terry) for introducing us. I am without words to fully express my happiness reading your comments. It means very much to Fiona and me that you are pleased with our work. Thanks to Terry, I have now heard your beautiful voice and, having done so, I plan to spend much time at your channel listening. Thank you, my friend.

Ron

[BocaFriend]

Again I return in awe -- trying to express my deep respect for

this sophisticated collaboration in words which will not merely

ring hollow. Fiona, you have selected the finest ingredients --

an exquisite pastiche of cosmopolitan images in forms and

lighting -- and married these visuals (with stylish effects,

including the choice of fonts) to Ron's beautiful playing

which evokes the sort of world-weary, world-wise, poised

melancholy that represents true city dwellers. He nailed it!

Hugs & 2Kudos!

[nikicover]

@BocaFriend

dearest Terry, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful creation.....I really loved it so much!!!!!!!!

Hugs

Niky

[BocaFriend]

Oh, Niky, I knew you would react to the beauty of the music

and especially, given your artistic eye, the imaginative and

thorough way in which Fiona weaves the visual narrative

of Ron's singing guitar. They work hand in glove and

thus we enjoy a continuum of sight and sound! Hugs, ~T

[nikicover]

@BocaFriend

you are damned right, my dearest Terry!!!!! Really, this is a fabolous creation....I do love it!!!! thanks again!!!!

Niky

[masumihanasanta]

The beautiful town which is reflected in my mesh.

The tone of the guitar which I am comfortable, and flow.

I enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

And thank you for splendid friend Dear　Terry.＾＾

[BocaFriend]

Masumi, your elegant style for presenting Jazz

in subtle shades of beauty are perfectly

compatible with the work of Ron & Fiona.

I am so happy to know you all and bring

you in touch with each other's work! ~T

[sguitar]

@13crickets

I did one yesterday ;-)

[bch1234]

Thank you Ron and Fiona !!!

You have just given me a feeling of summer, a feeling of walking late at night in a city with my husband, looking at everyone and nobody, listening to the life :)

I needed this, outside it is freezing !!

Thank you for this feeling :) And I am looking forward to the Serenade :)

Smile from Anne Mari

[13crickets]

@bch1234 Dearest Anne Mari, Fi and I are delighted you like our collaboration. I love snow...... on a Christmas card :)) Right now, it is the perfect temperature imaginable here (24 C.). I very much like your expression "...looking at everyone and nobody.." It says so much with so few words.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

Your friend,

Ron

[sammu5]

Hi Ron,

Great video! The images go perfectly with the music. I must admit it took me until the end of the video to realise you were the composer....! All the way through I was trying to work out who had written it! BRAVO! I like your description too. Especially, "...a cricket whose song goes unanswered.." :))) I look forward to the Serenade....

Best wishes,

sam

[13crickets]

@sammu5 Hi Sam, Fi and I thank you very much for your kindness. I am very happy you liked the prologue. The idea of adding a short "story" came from some of the classics like Swan Lake and Madama Butterfly. Knowing the story behind the composition just seemed like an excellent idea. Usually, the title of a composition is the only information offered to explain the composers intent.  I also look forward to seeing what Fi will create for Serenade.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[ovidiov]

Very nice everything, the music fits perfectly with the video (or vice-versa)!

great job, congratulations for you both.

Best wishes

[13crickets]

@ovidiov My friend Ovidiov, Fiona and I thank you very much for your kindness. This project was much fun. I have been concerned for you, my friend, because of the weather there in Brazil.  Costa Rica has also had much rain this season which has caused mudslides. I was very happy to see your comment.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[ovidiov]

@13crickets -- thanks for your concerns on me. Fortunately I'm countryside, very far from Rio, and all my relatives and friends are safe too. Pura Vida!!

[Oliy92466]

Nice video and music, Ron!

[LONGWINDING]

Fantastic video and very nice music, Ron and Fiona!

Great mood, great images, moving!

Best wishes, Frank

[13crickets]

@LONGWINDING Thanks very much, Frank. Your words are inspiring. I saw an incredible musician last evening at a small restaurant/bar in La Fortuna (Costa Rica). He reminded me of you because he played so many different instruments, sang perfectly, and composed excellent music. He gave me his CD (I gave him my new Snark tuner). I will tell you, he is excellent.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[erickdircks]

Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!

What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!

A New Friend

[13crickets]

@erickdircks Thank you very much, Erick. I thought of you today as I was watching several species of hummingbirds fussing with each other at a feeder here in Costa Rica. This is a birders paradise.

[BocaFriend]

Dear Ron and Fiona, I feel so overwhelmed by the absolute

brilliance of your creation, I am almost dreading the challenge

of making a literate comment here. I will content myself by

citing a few random impressions of this magnificent modern

day tone poem. First, the description is so evocative as to

set the piece in motion from the onset.  And then, Fi-Oh!-na

guides us through the poet's view of Gotham, whilst the

exquisite guitar add the sonic survey. I will return here

often. Bravo! ♥✿♥~Terry

[13crickets]

@BocaFriend Dear friend Terry, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and friendship. Fi and I are honored by your eloquent words. You know, often I go to your YT channel just to read your replies to the comments people leave for your excellent work. It is like reading a collection of fine poems. You select and use words just as a skillful craftsperson takes the precise tool in hand to create a masterpiece. You are an inspiration to us all.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[abfdes]
