I know many of you are missing the instrumental music that we know and love. While we wait to see if Yanni has any new instrumentals for us, I would strongly recomend listening to Bradly Joesphs music! He's about the closest thing to Yanni as you can get! I was just on his site and went "Ahhhhhh!" Look him up!www.bradleyjoseph.com

Thanks for the info, Dolphin.

Bradley's music is phenomenal, instrumental, but his style is much different than Yanni's and I love them both.

I'm just impressed that Yanni hired him over the phone after hearing a tape of his original music, no personal audition, back in 1989. With Yanni's ear for music, that fact alone was a heads up for me.

Bradley toured with Yanni through six of the early tours, like Dare to Dream and Reflections of Passion, and is the keyboardist on Live at the Acropolis. And then of course, he returned for the 2003 Ethnicity tour. I wish that he would tour with Yanni again but not likely since his solo career is so busy and successful. In the liner notes of his album "Rapture", he says He readily credits Yanni's role in his professional development, and for five years of irreplaceable experiences and memories. I'm glad he is doing so well and I'm a big fan.

Anyhoo, if you want to check him out:
