If you haven't heard of him,
you'll wonder why you haven't.


That's because Jay Oliver has spent most of his life as the "man behind the curtain" - making it all work for such artists as: Sheryl Crow, Glenn Frey/The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett - and in the jazz world, his lifetime partner Dave Weckl (noted as the world's most prolific drummer - also Chick Corea's drummer for years over).


Jay's truest gift to the world, however, is his astonishing, eye-popping talent at the piano. You will rarely see another musician with such a rich and eclectic array of influences and styles, and the soul of his expression doesn't fail to ignite the hearts of all listeners - musicians and non-musicians alike. Reports of listeners being moved to tears is common, thus crowning Mr. Oliver with another label: the ability to heal.

Synergies

A personal note from Jay:

Would you like to join me in the creation process?
Would you like to be a part of a fresh, new kind of performance art?

I'm looking for specific indivuals or groups to help synergize and create something very powerful, moving, beautiful and completely unique.

For instance: Imagine a theatre-style performance setting spotlighting myself at a beautiful grand piano - with beautiful and cutting-edge lighting and light FX, stunning artistic backdrops displaying works of A-team artists, multi-media moving imagery, projections, (surround-cinema?), and live dancers perhaps semi-choreographed, but also moving in improvisation with the music I am creating from the piano + midi controller (brand new technology).

I am interested in meeting:
>investors
>facilitators
>producers
>managers

and - anyone who can add to the creative process described above.


If you feel you can contribute to this process, I'm very open to new ideas. Please write to me at jay@theplayerscircle.com - and describe what you might be able to bring to the table.

 

Jay Oliver Music Projects

• Jay Oliver Solo Piano Series

• Sounds in Silence

A cutting-edge CD product company - created after discovering the power of womb simulation to dramatically calm crying babies and help them fall asleep. This spawned the development of an audio technique to help adults sleep as well - which then spawned a series of beautiful relaxation music. The products are selling fast, and word is catching on.

• World Music Project
An international necessity: "AO" - bringing the world together as one. Jay and his partners, "Ricky Gannaway" and "Sandeep Chowta" have developed a unique concept that amalgamates native music expression - indigenous to particular world territories - and brings them together into one powerful broth, sprinkled with the voices of 'ethnic' children singing a combination of various languges chosen from a 'geometrical' point of view. AO has been asked to provide music for the upcoming Beijing Summer Olympics in 2008.
