Still Crossing

Re-imagined classic rock songs in jazz. Still Crossing picks up where the 

album Crossover left off. Re-imagined 

classic rock songs in a jazz style. The

inspiration for Crossover comes from 

my roots in Cuba, where American 

music was banned. Despite this, we

could still catch the sound waves

coming across the ocean from Florida,

discovering what would later become

classic rock. This album continues

that journey, but choosing the music

was no easy task. The focus was on

the artists whose music has left a 

lasting impact worldwide: Led Zepplin,

Elton John, Procol Harum, Janis Joplin,

Joni Mitchell, and Jimi Hendrix..

All arangements by Jorge Garcia

The idea of arranging Classic Rock songs came while teachingguitar at a school and working with kids that enjoyed Classic Rock. Iwanted to introduce them to Jazz and combining rock tunes was theperfect bridge. I began with Blackbird (Beatles). I wanted to orchestratethe song while keeping the original melody and that's what I did. Thearrangement helped them to meld the two genres together.
