Puttin’ Down the Tracks

Just You, Just Me (2010)

The time has arrived. The next installment in the Jason Wanner saga is upon us! Like the title suggests, this time it is the intimate setting of just the piano, you, and Jason, as he takes you on an extensive musical journey through his mind. There have been so many requests for Jason to show up in various people’s living rooms and to give a private concert. This is the underlying theme of the album, and it has been recorded in such a way to simulate this in your own home.

Recital (2008)

OK, I know you were all waiting for it! You’ve been watching Jason for a long time. And though you heard about his impending final recital in April of 2007; though you wish you could have attended, most of you live too far away from Sacramento to have made the trip with the cost of transportation as it were. Well, Jason just made your day!

In his travels, he heard fans expressing this very same sentiment over and over. It became so much, that he decided to take the recording of the concert that he had made for himself, clean it up, and put it out there for all of you to hear! Now you can be there alongside everyone who was fortunate enough to attend.

Take a listen. Those of you who know Jason as a jazz pianist might be surprised to hear an all-classical concert! So come and get it!! It’s hot off the press!!

Nature Boy (2005)

Thu, 5 May 2005 00:33:11 -0700

This is by far Jason’s most successful album to date. From conception to fruition, it took the whole of 3 years to produce! It has become a main staple in his life and was created with lots of love. A truly well-planned masterpiece, “Nature Boy” takes you on a journey from stem to stern of his life and jazz career. From the first note to the last, Jason allows himself to be totally vulnerable, yet inviting. He really wants his audience to see and experience a piece of his world.

His piano playing, songwriting, even his singing (he’s too shy to sing in public) all come together to build a hip, energetic, yet soothing melting pot of his talents. The arrangements are all fresh, distinctive, and totally a la Wanner. His stylings are cutting edge, but at the same time nostalgic.

Here is the buzz from fans:
