Escape (Latin Jazz Jim Brickman cover)

Escape: Piano and Violin Latin Jazz cover Happy New Year! Wishing you the best for a fantastic 2011. Here is a Caribbean inspired piece to keep you warm for the winter. This is our simple cover of the title song from the album "Escape" by Jim Brickman. We decided to play this with more of an upbeat dance tempo, using the "Latin Pop" drum pattern on our Yamaha MM8 piano to help give it that Latin feeling. The original song was first released in October 2006 and has Jim Brickman on piano and features Marc Antoine on guitar. Other songs on the albulm include Never Alone, Paradise, Barcelona.
