“Musical Art Pieces to Rejuvenate Your Soul”  JackSchell/Soundweaver, A musician and composer with strong melodies and sense of…Soundscaping…, Jack Schell creates what may be termed...musical art pieces... Mostly instrumental, Jack's work is similar in style to that of Moby, Thievery Corporation or Zero 7. Corrine of LOVENICO says: Jack Lays down the Funky, the Chill, the Crazy, the Deep, the Rockin, the Awesome and the Beautiful tracks...I can't tell you how great his music is for my creative drive. Everything he makes is perfectly personal...Like your own soundtrack to life, his songs creep in and boost your mood from "yeah,I'm here" to "Uber-mode". In support of California's landmark decision for marriage equality for same sex couples, Jack Schell (theSoundWeaver) is releasing his Wedding Song as the Gay Wedding Song. The Single will be available August 2008 on itunes, Rhapsody; amazon.com as well as Napster, eMusic.com, and the like. Jack enlisted the help of Northwest artist/rock photographer William Landers for the classic cover art suitable for framing!www.myspace.com/rightbrain Jack says about his solo piano song, "I was overjoyed when California decided to stand up for marriage equality. Finally my Wedding song that had graced many traditional weddings (including my mothers) would have the same chance to spread love at gay weddings in a state I hold dear to my heart. I look forward to the day all of America is free and equal for those in love to marry and be counted as equals."

Thanks again Jack. ?Best Wishes, Mrs. Chris Chapman Gay Wedding Song.... What a truly beautiful piece of music! It's a great song for a wedding or anytime. When I listen to it I feel total peace and happiness. It seems like Jack's fingers glide across the keys like they are made of butter. And like Mr. Schell, I am so happy about the legalization of gay marriages in CA. I hope all of the other states follow suit and do the same thing. I think it's wonderful! Keep the tunes coming Jack. You are an incredible composer and performer. Diane Zielinski www.crystalartz.com Jack Schell has an almost magical way of bringing emotion and tenderness to life in his music. "The Wedding Song", a prime example, has more than the stately command of a wedding song; you cannot help but feel the music, which makes this song such a masterpiece. Bravo!

From The Vaquero Palace Comes Funky House, the first track on Jack Schell's latest release "Snottsdale Serenade". Holed up in the palace for almost a year the desert winds and swaying palms fueled Jack's moods to produce a variety of fresh new tracks. From the glammy pianos of the vegetarian Mobymelt to the multi perspectives that flow from The Waves of Life it's another smooth varying trip of sights and sounds. Yes We Can will get you nicely motivated while Cool Breeze is the perfect end of day relaxer. Turn it on and tune in to a great end of the day relaxer NOW! Available at www.cdbaby.com/all/schell and on itunes as well as most digital online outlets.  Jack's fourth release Library One (2005) is a traveling metrosexuals delight; these percolating iridescent instrumentals are as at home in London as they are in a Palm Srpings lounge. Put this music on at the airport and before you know it you'll be transported on wonderful journeys holodek style. From the train rhythms of the Tube to Richmond to the floating introspective slideshow of Scorebed 2 there's no a stop you won't enjoy. Jack's Third independent release, Laguna Sweetheats (2003) is a light and fun compilation where each piece conjures a distinct image in one's mind. Together these pieces may suggest a lazy sunny an carefree Sunday afternoon drive down the southern California coast with some very intriguing stops along the way… some quite tranquil and unobtrusive with others may make one want to dance. Take this scenic trip from a jazzy lounge with fresh fruit martinis to a Chinese restaurant with the green tea of th orient. Laguna Sweethearts will take you away… and with no security check at the airport! Laguna Sweethearts is available at www.cdbaby.com/schell3 .
	For His Second release, Jack brings us Blue Aura (2000) from the Top of Lake Tahoe www.cdbaby.com/schell3 . These songs were written with self healing and balancing in mind. "I was trying out some of the new age tools I learned in San diego and applied them to music," says Jack. Some songs invoke the relaxing effects of vast space, while others are a reminder to breathe! From Tahoe Drums, were the ancient native winds blew rhythms carrying energy and knowledge that had flowed there for centuries, to the vast spaces conjured in the title track and Room to Fly (a meditation favorite), this music takes you on an armchair space vacation. Sanctuary is a song for a friend that wanted to be taken "diving" when she closed her eyes and listened. So put on Blue Aura and take some time to travel, rejuvenate and breath!
Jack's Catalog also includes Ageless Music (1996) "A Solo Piano Orchestra!" www.cdbaby.com/schell . This collection of eighteen songs, represent a wide range of textures and moods. They are all truyly ageless and easy for repeat listening. Sixteen are original compositions written by Jack. He added a special touch to his arrangements of Carlos Santana's All the love in the Universe and Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On. From the slow 50's style rock and roll of Billy the Biker to the dramatic Spanish countryside influence of Elena Maria, every listener is sure to discover a number of favorites. Perhaps yours will be Jack's Jazz, a Joan Miro inspired piece in which Jack plays the melody and then morphs it with syncopated rhythms. Perhaps it will be Israfel, a song Jack channeled directly onto the master during the recording session as a gift from the angelic hierarchy orchestra, Or, perhaps it will be Windex for Wesley, a song written to reflect the uninhibited and freewheeling gay sexual mores of the late 70's and early 80's. A Few Reviews of Ageless Music. John Mayall-Bluesbreakers I can see tracks #5 John's Goin ON and #8 Song to Last Forever being used for movie or TV soundtracks. I enjoyed the music, keep playing! Patricia Burke-Beyond Mind Healing Center I found your piano pieces to be quite lovely. A nice mix of emotion and deep stillness. Rob Schlegel-Las Vegas Bugle March 1998 Jack plays a blend of music ranging from acoustic contemporary to new age to jazz, but like the of his CD his music is truly ageless. We love you Jack. Your music is so brilliant, we think of your music as another character in The Nancy Boys show.Thank you, thank you !
