Bit late on this, but better late than never. Tingles down my spine listening to your rendition. Just so musical Al. I admire your work so much....

My favorite chord progerssion :) Loved it

Harry Jacobson joins Daniele Petrocchi and me on our original tribute to John Coltrane, Trane Wreck.  Coltrane and his quartet's sound with McCoy Tyler was so important in the 60s and together we explore some uptempo modal grooves and modes that drove Trane's seminal work with McCoy.  Harry's a teacher's teacher and brings the very finest sound to the Cloud.  Daniele's a monster electric bass player and musician and  lays down some beautiful bass lines and soloing too.  Sit back and smile:)

Trane Wreck - Harry Jacobson / Daniele Petrocchi / Jamie Rhind

Our tune Arrivederci took on a far deeper meaning when our great and talented friend Sam Mendez died in a motorcycle accident.  And so what was planned months before the tragedy - translated to When We Meet Again - keeps us all thinking.  So we are dedicating this one to Sam.

Our trio here includes D.C.'s remarkable Vlad Glovchovski on guitar.  His super tasteful grooving is only matched by the way Vlad pushes things rhymically and harmonically, creating and resolving tension across the backbeat and groove.  On electric bass, Daniele Petrocchi simply dances and adds such a wonderful thoughtful line of bass, rhythm and so often melody.   So great to be playing with both of them and to have them together.   This one's for you Sam....Arrivederci reached #3 on SoundCloud's Hot & New playlist in the Jazz & Blues category

Arrivederci - Vlad Glavchovski / Daniele Petrocchi / Jamie Rhind

Jamie Rhind joins me on this track with not only some fine synth soloing, but with creative embellishments throughout this rhythm&blues/smooth jazz style track.

When Scotland's finest SoundCloud guitarist Ian Tait asked me if I'd Fancy It?, I had to turn him down. But then I realized he was asking me only to join him on this original blues rocker of his.  Here's some serious boogie'n blues rock...

Check out Ian's outstanding SC gallery at @ian-tait - he's got something in there for everyone - a lot of really great playing - and all with a sense of humor.

We've already recorded 14 tunes together over the past year and a half - some of my very favorites: soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/cooking-with-ian-tait-1

And for those interested, I have just released Barcelona and I Believe, 2 CDs of my own music and a few jazz standards. SoundCloud's Dan van den Berg and Al Schulman wrote the liner notes for them. Here's a link if you are interested in checking them out - itunes.apple.com/us/album/barcelona/id1071251143

More fun here with the outstanding Scott Nelson and Mirko "Stringburner" Borach.  This original is named after Scott, after he forwarded the guitar track to this piece...I simply had to name it Great Scott, a dated exclamation of amazement.

Hoping you too will be amazed by what these guys bring again to our music.  Two of my very favorite players on SC and I hope you agree.  Please check out more of their music and follow them:

Back with a grooving original funk tune with the fabulous Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitar.   Pinner is on fire here once again with his driving wah rhythm playing and comes at us with such a great solo as well, before I follow up with that signature Hammond Organ sound.

What The Funk - with Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski / guitar

Honored to be releasing a new track today with Ronson Heimdal, Norway's spectacular fusion guitarist.  For fun we have named it Ronnie James Duo, after Black Sabbath and Rainbow rock vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who other than the name, has little to do with the title.  Sorry.

Ronson Heimdal https://soundcloud.com/ronny-heimdal is a recording musician and artist at the very highest level, who has multiple albums showcasing his deep knowledge as a guitarist, keyboardist, drum programmer, composer, and recording engineer.  Ronnie's most recent release Everything's FIne is available for listening on SoundCloud and to purchase at CDBaby:  https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/ronnyheimdal   On this recent album Ronson teams up with drummer Danny Handler, bassist Ray Riendeau and synth player Alex Argento with 6 electricity charged progressive tunes that are certain to excite.  I've admired Ronson's unique approach to guitar and composition since I joined SoundCloud, and so pleased to feature him here on Ronnie James Duo.

Ronnie James Duo - with Ronson Heimdal / guitar

For Christmas, three years ago, I posted Daydreamers on the Spanish Highway, or Soñadores en la Carretera Española https://soundcloud.com/danarchx/daydreamers-on-the-spanish-highway-part-3-featuring-jamie-rhind, which turned out to be my most played and liked tune here on SoundCloud. It came to me as a bit of a surprise, being unknown, and because it was meant to be part of a trilogy of tunes which I had made as a collaboration with the great Jamie Rhind https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind. It was meant to conclude the journey with an acoustic instrumental that would be a calm version using the harmonies and melodies already known from the other two. I was quite unknown on SC as I just mentioned, Jamie had sort of discovered me here and pushed me to do more and collaborate. I thank him for that! It's been a marvelous journey from there and to commemorate this I have made a completely remixed and remastered version with brand new percussion and a more extensive solo from Jamie using all of the material he had sent me originally. 

So, although a known piece in my catalogue, I hope you'll enjoy it in it's new polished version too. As Always I enjoy your comments, likes and shares and I thank you for the time to take a listen!

My Favorite Things

Throwing it down again, our first tune for the new decade, on a heavy rock funk fusion original, Let The Buyer Beware.  Boon Suzuki (guitar)and Daniele Petrocchi (bass)are so good, and let it rip and soar here in their soloing.   And stick through Daniele's funk bass solo, which is... simply... ridiculous.
