Nearness of You


Posted on 1st September, by Dave in Jazz, Recordings. 6 Comments

This is a track from an album I released in 2006 called Straight Ahead.

This recording was featured in the Sony/Screen Gems movie, Takers. The song is played by Hayden Christensen’s character, “AJ”, as his friend Jake (Michael Ealy) proposes to his girlfriend (Zoe Saldana).

    Just read the story of how this song got found and licensed to Sony for the movie (clicked over on a CDBaby link from Twitter). Very magical! Hope you can continue to capitalize on the attention!

    in peace

    Just saw the movie and your music just strucked me david. Maybe it’s the scene, maybe it’s the guy playing it (hayden), who knows? Anyway google pointed me here so good for you! I actually started playing my piano again.

    Take care,
    Alex

    David,

    I just absolutely love this song performed by you. The song is just so beautiful. Love randomly discovering great musicians on the Internet!

    Do you have a piano music sheet for this piece? I would like to purchase it and practice. If so, my email address is jennifer.ys.kim@gmail.com

    David,

    I have recently heard this amazing song you composed, i researched it immediately and found out the story behind it.

    I was wondering if it was possible to purchase the piano sheet music for it. My email address is lewisroots@googlemail.com.

    Thanks for your time

    Lewis

    Sorry all – there’s currently no sheet music available for my version. There’d be a bunch of copyright issues involved with selling sheet music of Hoagy’s song.
