Description
JavaMusiK presents Bending Chords.
Discover the rich piano/keyboard melodies of Colorado composer/pianist Jeff Van Devender. Van Devender's compositions can best be summed up as coffeehouse meets the piano.
Listen as he paints musical landscapes featuring distant strains which reach deep into the soul. His melodies have been described as a blending of classical, jazz & rock influences with a peaceful touch of soul. Also sometimes described as George Winston meets Elton John.
His music can be found on his debut cd 'Ascend' (cdbaby.com/vand) as well as this newly released followup cd 'Bending Chords,' (released - August 2002.).
The music on 'Bending Chords' marks a departure from his earlier solo piano work. Van Devender cites a broadened effort with added instrumentation filling out this excursion, punctuated with several uptempo numbers. "I can't wait for people to hear this one!" he states.
Bending Chords also features a tribute to the 14 firefighters who died fighting the Storm King Mountain (South Canyon) Fire of 1994 in Colorado. Titled 'Storm King Sacrifice,' this solo piano piece provides a stark description, no words could ever express. As of Sept. 11, 2003, for one year, proceeds from every sale of Ascend and Bending Chords on this site will be contributed to a Firefighter's fund in memorial of those 14 firefighters.
'Ascend' garnered nominations for Best Instrumental Song & Best Instrumental CD in 2001 through JustPlainFolks.com.
Currently, Van Devender is a weekly featured performer at the St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colorado and two churches every Sunday morning.
He has also recently been a regular featured soloist at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO & at Exclamation Point Restaurant in Glenwood Springs, CO.
Van Devender has been a featured performer for YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park & Winter Park, CO every summer since 1999. He also was instrumental in organizing 'Songs 4 Kosovo' in the Glenwood Springs, CO locale in 1999. The event featured over 20 performing groups from the surrounding area and raised over $2,400 locally and $25,000 nationally - all of which was donated to Red Cross to be used for relief efforts aiding victims of the Kosovo conflict.
