Jon Thorstensen – Kiwi Girl (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Jazz, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Right from the start this track radiates energy that draws one in. So easily lost in its complex rhythms and superb horn section. A rich Jazz interpretation that is good for the soul. ”

-Nagamag.com

Kiwi Girl is a groovy and sexy jazz instrumental, the rich and open sound palette makes it also chill and laid back. The tune builds up from single guitar lines to full horn section and subtle percussion.

Some of the best Norwegian musicians brings elegance and sophistication to the track. Awesome Magnus Bakken deliveres brilliant improvised sax lines.

My two other jazz singles Secret Place and Pilgrim has now almost 100%0 streams on Spotify and spread worldwide in over 30 playlists. It is fantastic to grow followers and new fans from all over the world. Hope you like it.

“There is music in the world, which seems to be a guide star that leads its listener everywhere, wherever he would go. Look at the sunrise, live and enjoy every moment and remember that sound leads you in search for your Atlantis.”

“Есть в мире музыка, которая словно путеводная звезда ведёт своего слушателя везде, куда бы он не пошёл. Смотрите на восход солнца, живите и наслаждайтесь каждым прожитым моментом и помните, что музыка ведёт вас на поиски вашей Атлантиды.”

Anton Commissaris Interview on Nagamag

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Anton Commissaris:
Jazz - vocal, with notes of blues, soul, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Anton Commissaris:
I am a Jazz composer, pianist, and vocalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I released my first EP - On A Bright Note - in February 2021. I have a new single - Lonely Bay - released on September 24, 2021, and a second EP - Out of the Blue - coming out in October 2021.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Anton Commissaris:
I had heard music on the radio but the first time I felt a true connection was when at about 9 years old, I listened to an album by Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends. Cocker's voice was raw, bluesy, and powerfully emotional. It struck a chord with me. Intrigued, I began to play the record over and over. Two songs, in particular, stood out for me - the title track - With a Little Help from My Friends - and - She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. I didn't realize it at the time, but these were both Lennon-McCartney covers. I would later become a huge Beatles fan, impressed particularly by the fact that they composed, played, and sung their own music.


Nagamag:
How did you become a fan of Jazz music?

Anton Commissaris:
My mother was into Jazz music and she played a lot of records that I picked up on when I was young. When I was learning the piano at an early age, she also had Jazz sheet music laying around that I would learn how to play. I remember, in particular, being impressed by - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. During my college years, I picked up on Frank Sinatra and many of the other great singers of the American Song Book. As an alternative to all the other standard pop music of the day, we would play this at parties and have a lot of fun, while others were somewhat confused by our retro tastes. Then after, playing classical piano for a number of years, I drifted back into Jazz and fell in love with that style of music all over again.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Anton Commissaris:
The Beatles "For No One"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Anton Commissaris:
Sarah Vaughan "Misty"

LEAD SINGLE FROM THE UPCOMING ALBUM (Sept 24) “Modern Acoustic World Jazz Rock”

This multicultural group has achieved international popularity among music fans for their eclectic performances, drawing from 3 continents. Together, guitarist Steinar Aadnekvam (Norway), bassist Rubem Farias (Brazil) and drummer/singer Deodato Siquir (Mozambique) have performed hundreds of concerts in some 17 countries across Europe, Eurasia, Africa and the USA before making this album.

Performed in studio in one take, originally intended as an online stream during the 2020 pandemic. However, when we heard the result we realized that the recorded music needed to be treated properly and presented as an album. After all this is a band that has played several hundreds of concerts all around the world over the past 5 years and we feel you can hear that in the maturity of these performances, the tightness of the interplay, the effortless manner with which the songs unfold. Just as they were always intended.
