It's a beautiful afternoon and I'm getting ready for another video shoot. 

In the new video I will perform the song "Caroliena".  I wrote it many years ago but have re-worked it often during the last few years. It's a special song and a lot of my love and heart have went into the sounds. It is as dear to me as the beautiful song "Amanda". ♫ Smooth Jazz - Encompass. Listen @cdbaby I'll keep you guys posted. Amanda was published in 2007 on the album Smooth Jazz.

Armando Olivero - Encompass

I'm a composer, musician, painter, photographer and have discovered my love for air tap guitar in the recent years. My music encompasses elements from Jazz, Blues, Rock to R&B but I love sounds from all over the world.

Imagine the look I got when I was hired by a high class gig as a Chinese Jazz band.... they had not seen a picture. However, they loved my Chinese Jazz.
My albums are all distributed under the artist name Encompass. I write and perform all of my music, usually by myself. The guitar is my primary instrument but I play everything from drums, piano, bass, and various strings, as well as all percussion, especially for my recordings.
I'm an artist inside and out, breathe it, live it. The good, the bad, and the ugly!

I live in a world of sensation possibilities where my primary mode of living is focused internally. I'm not much of a social guy. I have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty, love my animals, the horses, dogs, cats, pretty much all creatures and have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature.

I would like to share my artistic endeavors, pictures, videos, and music with you.

Hope to keep you entertained.... much love.
Armando


I'm pretty excited today.

So, I've been exploring ReverbNation, I've been with them for some time and it's been a learning experience, especially with them connecting my cyberspace existence and posting things on social media.

However, I'm excited today because I got a message: I'm the #1 Jazz artist in Colorado Springs & the state of Colorado on ReverbNation.

Now that's pretty cool!!!!

Thank you guys so much for all of your support. Thank you for sharing and re-posting some of my posts, thank you for the comments, and thank you for the likes. You guys are great. Love you folks!

Thank you to my inspiration and wife, Susanne. Thank you Renae DellaCroce, an inspirational graceful friend. Thank you to the forces of nature that let me connect to some of the most beautiful creatures, the horses.

Thank you to the listeners on ReverbNation for letting me be a featured ReverbNation artist on July 5th, 2016.
