Featured Song
MY FAVORITE THINGS
Debut Album "First Dance"
This collection of 11 instrumental works are truly songs without words. The guitar adds a voice filled with texture and emotion. Beginning with his award winning song “ Back in Five”, which introduces us to Noel Lorica’s vibrant, harmonious compositions and superb musicianship. As the album continues, it picks up tempo with body swaying precision in “Samba in A.” Then it takes on the familiar “My Favorite Things” with a most astonishing acoustic jazz interpretation. The journey further transports you to the cool Brazilian shores with the sultry melody of “El Viento”. Only to be brought back to pure innocence with the solo guitar of title song “First Dance”.
At this point, most albums lose passion but “First Dance” only begins to further captivate with skill and soul. Each song in this album has unique character and is worthy of its own accolade. Some diversifying with piano melodies and guitar highlights as in “Forgiveness” & “ Scent of Cinnamon”. Or “Sarong Bangi” which brings in the swing that standard lovers applaud. While Latin jazz fans will clamor for the strong percussions of “Midnight Dreams” & “Last Dance” Wayward style. Finally ending with the smooth flowing beat of “Warm Winds”. You’ll sure to enjoy this little Wayward excursion.
