Richard Anthony Jay

“Instrumental music in particular can communicate better than almost anything else” says English composer/pianist Richard Anthony Jay. “Without lyrics and a vocalist, the listener has to use imagination, and to feel what the music is about.” For Richard, “feeling” what music is all about is now one of the driving principles guiding his life and music career, but that hasn’t always been the case. Like many working musicians, Richard’s life was “99% music, and one percent everything else” he says.
