"Secret Smile" Lead-Sheet
Instrumentalists! I'm pleased to announce I'm making available sheet-music versions of some of my Smooth-Jazz piano songs from different albums. These can be either printed or downloaded from the DM lead-sheets page on this site. All songs include the main notated melody in the original key, chord symbols and guitar tab. Perfect for piano, guitar and any lead instrument
I've posted five of my Smooth Jazz songs up to now. Secret Smile can be printed straight off the site. Four others, - Fresh Air (which also includes transcribed solos), Autumn Mood, Dream Your Dream and Smokee Vibes - can be emailed to you after you fill in a form. All are free! I may make others available later, depending on uptake. Also, please feel to give feedback here and to tell me which tell me songs you'd like a lead-sheet for!

Some tracks from my earlier albums "Dream Your Dream" and "Good to Go" get regular air-play on Sky Smooth Jazz 247 in particular, and a lot of people have told me that they really enjoy them but find it hard to buy those on "Good To Go" in particular, either on CD (except for some crazy price!) or as mp3.This is mainly because that album is from some years ago and the U.S. rights-holders (who are not the original record-company Instinct Records) don't seem to wish to make it available, despite requests.However, a good alternative is to buy a compilation called “Comin’ Thru” which is available for a reasonable price on Amazon.com and which includes 15 tracks selected from both that album and the previous one, “Dream Your Dream”. It's also available on Amazon.co.uk, and other local "Amazons".I am also streaming "Good To Go" and other albums from "other albums" page on this site, and also from Soundcloud.
Hope that helps!

Hello, I am wanting a copy of your CD Dream Your Dream please to complete the set. Tried EBay but no joy, can you help please ?
Thank you
Alec
Hi Alec, many thanks for message, – I’m flattered you wish to have a complete collection of my albums! Dream Your Dream is a pretty old release by now so hard to get. The record company that released it actually doesn’t even exist any more, and I’ve only got a very few copies myself. Amazon and similar seem the way to go, if not .com, then I noticed one just now on Amazon.co.uk, apparently new. all the best!
I really love your music and especially “Dream your dream” its awesome!!
Regards from Norway.
ArneSW
Glad you like the music Arne! all the best, Duncan
Dear Duncan,
I love the Album “Good to Go”, especially the song Sci-Fi Hi. I’ve searched high and low for this song on MP3 but to no avail. I was able to download your other songs. Good to go is selling for $79 new & used $49 on Amazon, unfortunately I cannot afford that price. Can you please tell me when this song and other songs from this particular album be available on MP3? Thank you.
Hi Pam, great to hear from you, and that you like “Good To Go”. That album is from some years ago and the rights-holders (who are no longer the original record company) do not seem to wish to make it available, despite requests.
However, a good alternative is to buy a compilation called “Comin’ Thru” which is available for a reasonable price on Amazon.com
and which includes 15 tracks selected from both that album and the previous one, “Dream Your Dream”, including “Sci-Fi Hi”! I can see they have 10 copies at the moment. ^
I am also streaming “Good To Go” from “other albums” page on this site, and also from Soundcloud.
Hope that helps!

Hello Duncan,
Just heard something of yours on Sky FM and loved it. Do you plan to tour in the States at all in 2014?
An avid smooth/contemporary jazz concert goer.
Have a Happy New Year,
Frankie
Hi Frankie, many thanks for message, my band is rehearsing for shows right now. I’d love to tour in the US but don’t have anything set up yet, so will be touring in UK and Europe first, however I will be over there as soon as I can make it! What was the track you heard on Sky FM? all the best and Happy New Year! Duncan
