Favorites 2021

(KARAOKE) Enigma - Retrun To Innocence

(re-uploaded after being deleted in error)

I'm only doing the singing on this one (trying to anyway). Not the greatest vocals but I just think this is a special song, one of Peter’s best, and wanted to share it, especially with those who haven’t heard it before. It's about growing old and getting your cherished memories in order while you're still able.

Second version of a tune I first recorded back in the 2001
Laying on a beach with the ambient Sun bathing you with its warmth, dreaming of what makes you peaceful and Happy.

Silver Clouds Version 2 (2008-9)

This music is loosely inspired by John Lurie's very engaging TV show, "Painting With John".

Living Life In Harmony,'be free'.

Wake Up by Jeamland & WÜST

Vortex chaotique, les idées s’entrechoquent, les repères se dérobent, les lignes se floutent. 

Le centre de l’instabilité, un paradoxe en mouvement, Où l’ordre et le chaos se mêlent, se confondent, Peut-être est-ce là que se cache la beauté, Dans cette fragilité qui nous pousse à chercher l’éternité.

Le centre de l’instabilité

The painting shows my hometown, the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, the place that I will forever hold dear in my heart.

I know you must be busy
And life cannot be easy
To find the energy to go on

The night unfurls its splendor
My thoughts are sweet and tender
Hoping we can chat when you logon

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online


The night turns into morning
Melancholy is boring
WiFi is dead, our networks misaligned

I overthink, I stutter
Under my breath I mutter
If only I could see what's on your mind

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online

------------------------

chorus:

I want to see you
I want to hear your voice
Would be happy to meet even just for a bit

Where are you
Don't hide
Will you come back?
My heart is online

An Extraordinary Spectacle Indeed

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.

Jazz/Fusion keyboard player, composer and producer.  Marketing, advertising, publishing and sales career.  Originally from Chicago, where I developed a strong appreciation for the blues and classical, and moved to New York, where jazz and the fine arts are so deep.  Key musical influences include Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, Chick Corea and Return to Forever, John McLaughlin and the Mahivishnu Orchestra, Stanley Clarke, Scott Henderson and Tribal Tech, Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer, Mike Stern, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Emily Remler, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFrancesco, Larry Young, Buddy Guy, Santana and Earth Wind & Fire.   Former classical clarinet and piano player.  Unless noted, my music on SoundCloud was composed, recorded and performed using only keyboards.  An avid photographer.  Many covers here are my shots.  To see my photography look for Herbiejazz on Instagram or search for Herbiejazz on Google.  And a big thumbs up to SoundCloud and the SoundCloud community, and so many friends who have joined me to create.  Thank you all.
