Introducing "Time Change" — A New Sonic Direction
Adding to a diverse catalog, San Francisco Bay Area composer, producer, and keyboardist Phil Klein apresents "Time Change." Releasing on October 6, this electronic track represents a bold evolution from his previous work. It delivers a hard-driving experience powered by pulsing bass, soaring choirs, and traditional Japanese Taiko drums.
Alongside this is the newly released track, "Nightingale." A brilliant blend of piano and acoustic guitar, it features the exceptional talents of Brazilian guitarist Itaiguara Brandão. This cinematically inspired piece takes listeners on an exhilarating musical journey that effortlessly blends elements of folk and funk into a truly genre-defying sound.
Phil is a staple of the San Francisco music scene, known for his unique ability to blend melodic grooves with infectious rhythms. His signature style bridges orchestral arrangements, smooth jazz, and now, electronic music.
• "In the Hour of Shadows and Whispers": His debut album features elite musicians from legendary bands such as Santana, The Doobie Brothers, Tower of Power, and Huey Lewis and the News.
• "Cruise Control": Released on Bobby Caldwell’s Sin-Drome label, this highly successful follow-up album along with his other work have amassed over 5 million streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora.
• Orchestral Adaptations: Showcasing his range as a composer, his deeply emotional orchestral treatments include traditional and sacred works like "Avinu Malkeinu," "Hatikvah," and "Kol Nidre and Variations."
Phil’s compositions have reached a global audience, featured on popular TV dramas like NCIS and Damages in Europe, alongside more than 10,000 airings worldwide on The Weather Channel with good amounts of airplay.
If you appreciate smooth jazz, fusion, orchestral arrangements, and impeccable musicianship, Phil’s infectious melodies are an essential addition to your playlist.
Happy listening!
