Brad Powell is a talented and highly trained California guitarist and composer who calls himself The Candlelight Guitarist, and for good reason. His music is perfect for situations in which candlelight figures prominently. Quiet meditation, romance, intellectual stimulation – the soft, pure tones of his Spanish and classic instrumental style open up your heart and render it more receptive to the spiritual messages that these pursuits engender.

A relaxed Bossa-Nova (about 120 bpm), great for solo guitar, piano, or jazz combos in any combination, with a fresh chord progression combining Great American Songbook style chord sequences with Brazilian and even modern rock and fusion chord combinations! This is a guitar lead sheet (written in guitar register-sounding down an octave, also good for flute). Listen to it and check out the video link! Great for JAZZ IMPROVISATION! (intermediate to advanced level). Recorded by The Candlelight Guitar (aka Brad Powell, who composed it).  NOTE: the musicians featured in the video made the audio recording, but the video images are from a prior live performance.)

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL I HAVE TO OFFER. Thanks, John. This song began life in 1930 as a nine-bar phrase with the working title There's No Stopping Me Now.  Its title phrase Nice work if you can get it came from an English magazine.  It was one of nine songs the Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters.  The song was published in 1937.  The first jazz recording of the work was by Tommy Dorsey three weeks after the release of the film.  The song was recorded by many jazz singers and adopted by bebop instrumentalists; Jerry Newman recorded pianist Thelonious Monk performing the tune in 1941 at Minton's Playhouse, a nightclub closely connected with early bebop, and he subsequently recorded it several times.
