Dear Fellow Musician,

Have you always wanted to learn to play jazz on the piano but never had the time or the money…

… Or worst of all spent endless amounts money that you really didn’t have on lessons that were “supposed” to teach you but left you even further back than where you started?

Well, if this sounds like you, then you should definitely keep reading. Now listen, you don’t have to go to jazz concerts anymore saying “I wish I could do that.” If you want to start playing jazz by ear right away, I’ve definitely found that someone (…and that something) that’s going to help you do it.

The guy who I’m talking about is none other than James Wrubel, one of the front-runners in today’s modern jazz era. This man has been there and back as a professional jazz musician and has played with some of the top names on the charts today.

With his crazy schedule, I’m still surprised that Hear and Play Music was able to capture him for literally more than 8 days and extract so much content to create this new and innovative Jazz DVD Learning Machine.

This system is completely loaded! In two DVDs and over 2 hours of step-by-step instruction, he takes you by the hand and shows you how to master TONS of award-winning jazz tips, tricks, and techniques as well as signature soloing secrets that’ll have you playing hundreds of jazz pieces by ear in no time.

Once you have this system in your hands you’re going to…

Product Description

Hard rock producer Paul O’Neill, renowned for his work with Aerosmith and Savatage, teamed with the latter band’s Jon Oliva to create Trans-Siberian Orchestra, an inspired fusion of classical music and rock-opera pageantry. Their first two releases are visionary and timeless Christmas-themed concept albums, spotlighting lead guitars and classical string sections alike, and they became instant contemporary holiday classics. 2004′s The Lost Christmas Eve, which completes their symphonic rock Yuletide triology, underscores Billboard’s recent comment that TSO “seems to be turning into a Christmas tradition.”

Product Description

This compact video-making karaoke machine provides great party entertainment or practice for aspiring divas. The machine has a 5-1/2-inch black-and-white screen that highlights the lyrics and tempo of each song, and a two-digit LED screen that displays the track numbers of songs from the loaded CD. Features include an automatic voice control that lets singers replace the prerecorded voice on the CD with their own, a balance control to set the singer’s voice and prerecorded voice to equal sound levels, and an echo control to create a rich concert-hall effect. A built-in speaker and master volume control let songbirds belt out ballads to the entire room–or neighborhood! The most exciting feature, however, is the pop-up video camera that shows the performer on the karaoke or TV screen and records a music video to the VCR. Standard AV output jacks allow for use of the TV and VCR hookups or let you connect to another audio output device. This karaoke machine is covered by a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty, and CDG discs are sold separately.

Product Description

The Lifestyle 38 DVD system advances a legacy of performance, elegance and simplicity with proprietary new technologies that make listening easy and exciting. The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system evaluates your rooms acoustics and where your speakers are placed. Then it automatically adjusts the sound to your room environment, ensuring consistent Bose quality performance. Now, consider that CD collection youve compiled for years.

The Lifestyle 38 DVD system features the uMusic intelligent playback system to digitally store up to 200 hours of your music. While youre listening to your CDs, the uMusic system learns your preferences so it can automatically select and play the songs you enjoy. No menus, no playlists, no computer. All of this technology resides in one elegant media center, featuring an integrated progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner. All Lifestyle DVD systems are equipped with Bose link to bring Bose sound to as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Simply add compatible Bose products for access to your entire music collection from any room in your home. You can choose from two audio streams in any of these rooms and enjoy independent volume control, as well. Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays stand just over 6″ high, but provide thrilling, enveloping sound for everything you listen to or watch. These small speakers work in concert with the proprietary Acoustimass module to fill your room with lifelike surround sound. The Acoustimass module produces resonant lows that add impact to action sequences and depth to musical selections. Just place it in a corner or behind furniture, and all the sound seems to come from the cube speaker arrays. Youll even enjoy more from your VHS favorites. Videostage 5 decoding circuitry and digital 5.1 decoding give you a 5.1-channel presentation from practically any source, including vintage TV and movies.
