Rejino puts into music the sophisticated feel of strolling down a tree-lined street, midnight in a Brooklyn jazz club, and the experience of seeing the famed frenetic Grand Central Station for the first time. Highly recommended!

Medium / Slightly Difficult. This colourful collection of pieces draws its inspirations from a variety of art works ranging from a gentle Parisian waltz Ball at the Moulin de la Galette inspired by the artist Renoir; an atmospheric night piece Nocturne in Blue and Gold by Whistler; a bright dazzling Winter Landscape with Skaters by the Dutch painter Avercamp; the Baroque brilliance of A Choir of Angels by the 15th Century painter Marmion; and two cool jazzy works Marilyn Diptych by pop artist Andy Warhol and Walking Man a powerful elongated sculpture by Giacometti which is in five time.The final and most challenging pieceOvercoming Red is inspired by the abstract artist Rodchenko who asserted in 1921 that the 'end of painting' was imminent; an appropriate choice for the concluding work of the picture gallery. Something for all tastes and abilities.
