MEDIA
With a music career now spanning over two decades, guitarist and songwriter, Joel Del Rosario (aka JDR) has just about touched every musical style. From classical to jazz, from hip hop to southern gospel Del Rosario has done it all and now, in partnership with multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer Will ‘Surewill’ Clark, he has slipped effortlessly into a contemporary jazz groove. Not that JDR is totally new to the genre. His 2011 CD ‘Coast To Coast’ was right on the smooth jazz money and this latest project, the wonderful ‘Side By Side’, very much picks up where that left off.
TESTIMONIALS
"When Sure Will is performing it's mesmerizing,
Great for the soul"
Mario F.Panzarion Jr.
Coffee Talk Jazz
"Whether he's playing single song solos or backing other artists, Sure Will contributes and underlying spirit in all his performances and studio projects. To see him perform live leaves you with no uncertainty why his electric keyboard compositions are on the jazzy side, breezy, open, and full of groove. His music occasionally leaves Jazz and falls over to the funk side of the fence with the listener wanting more from this talented keyboardist."
