Smooth Jazz Keyboardist Dave Bradshaw Jr. Teams With Producer Darren Rahn For The Next Summer Hit

LAKEWOOD, Calif. - May 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Every summer needs that perfect contemporary jazz tune celebrating the joyful energy of being alive and basking in the sunshine. The summer of 2015 gets its anthem a few months early with the high spirited, instantly infectious “Jumpstep,” a track that marks the highly anticipated emergence of multi-talented Southern California based keyboardist and composer Dave Bradshaw, Jr. Aside from being the perfect, radio friendly showcase for his melodic, funky and playfully jazzy keys, the song marks the launch of an exciting musical partnership with saxophonist, composer and producer Darren Rahn, who co-wrote and produced “Jumpstep.”

Rahn, who has worked similar studio magic for everyone from Dave Koz, Eric Darius and Najee to Nate Harasim, Tim Bowman and the late Wayman Tisdale, is now working on new tracks with Bradshaw, including several slated to be follow-up singles – with an eye towards releasing the keyboardist’s full length debut album later in 2015.

Working with radio promoter Adam Leibovitz of ASL Music Media, Bradshaw was about to send the original track of “Jumpstep” out to stations when he heard some of Rahn’s work for other artists and decided the producer could take his vibe to the next level. Rahn immediately heard Bradshaw’s potential and the two developed the track, adding new melodic ideas in the verses and hiring Rahn regulars like bassist Mel Brown to replace the synth-generated tracks of Bradshaw’s first version.

“I seriously could have come out with the track that became ‘Jumpstep’ a few months earlier,” says Bradshaw, “but hearing the incredible work Darren had done for these other artists made me realize that his Midas touch was essential. The whole journey of working with him was magical, and even better, the two of us connected on a personal level as well and have become good friends as well as collaborators. I’m excited that we’re working on new songs and I’m looking forward to making my debut album with him.”
