Arrangements and instrumentation invoke early Pop Jazz, late Smooth Jazz, Latin New Age Jazz, Caribbean Steel Drum Themes, New Age Orchestra and Spy Themes. Michael Barone demonstrates his musical style, performing on piano, organ, synthesizer, classical guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, pedal steel guitar, drums and percussion. “Jazz Montage was created to offer the listener an organized selection of original themes that express various rhythms and emotions”. Many of the songs have a percussive rhythm that invites dance, particularly songs in the "Latin Contemporary" and "Caribbean Party" sections, as well as a few in the "Smooth Jazz" and "Blues Band" sections. The balance of simplicity and complexity is intended to accommodate a wide range of listeners. The "New Age Cinema" and "Spy Themes" sections are intended to take the listener into a journey of evolving dramatics, occasionally experiencing the unexpected. The sections are arranged in sequence as follows: Smooth Jazz - tracks 1 to 8 Blues Band - tracks 9 to 11 Latin Contemporary - tracks 12 to 15 Caribbean Party - tracks 16 to 18 New Age Cinema - tracks 19 to 22 Spy Themes - tracks 23 to 25
