ALL THAT JAZZ.

A jazz-fused ride starting with the standards, through the sub-genres and ending up right where we are today. When we asked jazz piano maestro Thiago Pinheiro (Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham) to deliver a cross-section of jazz piano through the ages and boil that down into a songwriting-friendly EZkeys format, he took us on a jazz-fused ride starting with the standards through the sub-genres and ending up right where we are today. For the songwriter looking for instant ideas, the guitarist wanting to jam or for someone who wants to learn more about the basics and essentials of jazz, this is the perfect tool!

SOME SEVENTIES IDEAS.

Inspired by the artists that wrote the soundtrack to the seventies.

This is where the Seventies Pop EZkeys MIDI pack takes off. Inspired by the immortal legacy of the artists that topped the charts during the decade, this collection of MIDI leaves out the rowdiest rock-influenced tunes and instead hones in on the more mellow side of the pop spectrum. Expect dramatic ABBA-esque chords, lots of rhythmic strumming à la Elton John, some Bowie-clever melodic twists and turns as well as all the timeless chord progressions you need to get started writing your next slew of ’70s-inspired pop tracks.

This collection of EZkeys MIDI explores the multifaceted genre – from the early days of 1970s ska, through the heyday of the ’80s and ending up right here and now in the reggae-flavored pop flora of today. Expect a wide array of timeless melodic runs, phrases and chord sequences – all with that unmistakable swag, groove and uplifting spirit of reggae.

THE HOOK HANDBOOK.

EZkeys MIDI inspired by hook-driven new wave and synth-pop of the ’80s through to today. That hit songs benefit from strong melodic hooks is nothing new, but when it comes to the likes of new wave and synth-pop they’re pretty much mandatory. Who among the the Generation Xers that grew up in the ’80s during the heydays of these genres can honestly say that they weren’t smitten by the addictive synth leads, the urban industrial vibes and the full-on cultural wave that followed? The inherent darkness of New Order, Depeche Mode, Blondie and The Cure hit with equal force regardless of whether you asked for it or not. And like always, art and expression seem to revolve around the axis of the earth to come and go periodically. Now that we’ve entered the third decade of the new millennium, we’re very much back – right smack in the ’80s again.
