NEWS NEW ALBUM NEW SHEET MUSIC BOOK NEW SINGLE My feeling about my new album, It’s a Good Life: I feel like this album sums up my life and my current attitude toward it. I live in gratitude and realize that every day above ground is a miracle. I like to say that I suffered for 58 years and the last 11 years have been off-the-charts amazing! Looking ahead, I have my third and final Christmas album coming out in November and one more album recorded for 2022 that is more jazz oriented. After that, quien sabe? (who knows?) That jazz album will be my 43rd album.I might be retiring. We shall see what’s meant to be. Stay well, stay safe! Sending love, peace, joy, gratitude and good health! Louis   NEW ALBUM Released on September 27, 2021 Stream on Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music Download on Amazon and Bandcamp   NEW SHEET MUSIC BOOK Calm and Peaceful Christmas Piano $30 on Amazon I’m not trying to rush Christmas in October. I’m putting this out there now so that students working on these songs will have time to work them up in time for Christmas. 😉 Featured songs Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella  In the Bleak Midwinter Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring Gesu Bambino  Jolly Old Saint Nicholas  The Holly and the Ivy  While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks  Still, Still, Still  Sing We Now of Christmas  Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming  Coventry Carol  Holiday Celebration   NEW SINGLE Releases on October 22nd “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” from the upcoming album Calm and Peaceful Christmas Piano Get a sneak preview on Bandcamp and listen HERE! I saw “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by J.S. Bach on someone’s Christmas album. While I don’t typically think of this piece as a Christmas song, I love this piece and decided to add it to Calm and Peaceful Christmas Piano.

Louis   NEW SINGLE Released on August 27th “Taking My Time” from the upcoming album It’s a Good Life Stream on Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music Download on Amazon and Bandcamp This song is all about chill and relaxation. The funny thing about categories is that it really feels like laid back country swing, but there is also a jazz component to it because I like to improvise. So, there you go, country jazz swing. Using some Floyd Cramer slip notes too.

NEWS Moving Selling my Steinway B Two New Singles Free Sheet Music The big news is that Christine and I moving. We are leaving Sedona and will be heading for New Mexico. We are not sure where in New Mexico we will end up at this time. We are into exploring New Mexico to find our spot. We had a great eight year run in Sedona but now it’s time to move on. If you, or anyone you know, might have interest in owning my Steinway B, it is currently for sale on pianomart, pianobuyer and Ebay. Stay well, stay safe! Sending love, peace, joy, gratitude and good health! Louis   NEW SINGLES Released on July 30th “Recalibration” from the upcoming album It’s a Good Life Stream on Spotify and Apple Music Download on Amazon iTunes Bandcamp Even though the cover of this song appears technical and mechanical, ”Recalibration”  is really about heart and the ability to change. The key to change is self observation and understanding. That observation and understanding comes during quiet reflection and is represented in the song by the simple chord voicings at the beginning, middle and end. The rest of the song is made up of swinging jazz sections that represent everyday life. NEW SINGLE Releases August 13th from the upcoming album It’s a Good Life Sneak preview on Bandcamp NOW! The piece that is now called “Heartstrings” started out being called “Hobbit Song”. It was really Frodo and Sam’s song and their incredible journey. The music contains feelings of suffering, the strength of their beautiful friendship and Sam’s incredible loyalty to Frodo. The “Hobbit” title morphed into “Heartstrings” upon multiple listenings of the piece. The new title seemed to fit the music better.   CONCERT DATES Sunday, August 15th at 7:00 pm Farewell Sedona Concert  with the Louis Landon Trio at Sound Bites Grill Tickets are $10 – $80
