I love the complexity of the harmonizations at the same time

@user-936947521: Thanks so very much for this amazing feedback Frans, which is so very much appreciated

To all of you , talented musicians , i say bravissimo :))

As a Jazz Rock fan, a total audio pleasure!

"Distant voices" and distant moods too, the first 90 seconds is a beguiling invitation to the dance:)  Superb collaboration and engaging in every way.

This are the collaborations I made with Alan Hamilton over the last years. It's a great thing that happens through SC, to meet such wonderful musicians and human beings.
We are together - from time to time - Louis Taverna, John Hamilton, Andy Grossart, Tony Conway. The music is mainly Alan's, and I added the Woodwind arrangements and playing, mainly soprano, baritone and tenor saxes, but here and there flute, alto flute, clarinet and bass clarinet.

'Set Up The Easel' is a Jazz Fusion track featuring Georg Boehme on Saxes and Flutes. It's been a real pleasure working with Georg on this piece and his sax arrangements and soloing are simply wonderful. So thank you Georg, for this immense contribution on this track.

'The Path To The Secret Doorway (Feat. Georg Boehme)' This has been a tremendous musical journey with Georg. And for me, a very special one. Georg's wind arrangements are nothing less than sublime and it's just been an honour for me, sharing this journey with him.
The "Path" is the music and behind the "Secret Doorway" .....well that's the secret, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to hearing any thoughts you may have after listening to it, should you have the time or inclination to leave them in the comments.

'Imagination Becomes Reality' A Jazz Fusion Track inspired by how the title reads really. If we can imagine something then it can become real. The important question is, What is imagination and what is reality? Are they both "real"?  An age old question, which can only be answered by an inner search.
The piece is shared with the " very real and very imaginative" playing of Wind Master, Georg Boehme, whom I can't thank enough for being involved with me on this musical journey.
 Wind Instrument List: Bass Clarinet/Baritone Sax/Tenor Sax/Alto Sax/Soprano Sax.
Drums & Parcussion: Superior Drummer 3
Basses: Spectrasonics Trilian 
Keys: Arturia/Native Instruments
Mix: DAW - Steinberg Cubase 12

I think that I am finally finished working on the REMIX for this track! I first uploaded it on 11/11/2022. Now there are three separate guitar layers. Each having it's own distinct sound created on my Boss SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer. One is my Taylor K24ce Acoustic (preset P55), the next is my Ibanez AF95 Hollow Body (preset P23) and the last one is my Vintage Vibe 70s Stratocaster (preset P39) through my Boss PW-10 V-Wah Pedal.

'Alone In A Crowded Place' is a fusion track inspired by the experience of feeling alone whilst surrounded and in the midst of a large group of people. Composition is shared with Georg Boehme, whilst Georg's wind arrangements are simply mind blowing as is his soloing on this track. So then once again I have had the exceptionally good fortune of sharing another musical journey with this extraordinary player, arranger and composer.
Thank you for listening and please leave your thoughts in the comments should you have the time and/or inclination to do so.

'Accessing The Inner Worlds' is a jazz Fusion piece inspired by a feeling of freedom to search our creative gifts on this musical journey. No contraints on having to stay with the boundaries of a given or perceived "genre". I hope we have achieved this goal and once again for me, a priviledge and pleasure to share the composition and arrangement with my friend Georg Boehme. Georg's wind arrangements and playing on this piece once again illustrating his immense skills as a player, arranger and composer.

One Hot Night

`"Je ne connais rien aux Mandarines Radio edit"


J’aime pas l’silence 
Que fait ton absence,
C’est le même silence 
Les dimanches 
Après l’départ 
Des enfants en vacances
Du condamné 
Avant sa sentence 
Il y a quelque chose en toi 
D’étrange
Et qui pourtant
Jamais me dérange…..
 
Je n’connais rien aux mandarines
La marche du monde
M’est invisible
Assis sur le toit
De mes ruines 
J’me sens parfois 
Comme inutile, 
J’aimerais tellement 
Qu’tu m’imagines
Assis ailleurs 
Que sur des ruines, 
Un super héros 
Toi ma queen 
Dans un monde 
Même pas t’imagines 
 
Je n’comprends rien aux mandarines
A vos regards méchants, inutiles
Momo dit :
Que les crétins sont nombreux dans cette ville
Mais leur répondre, ce serait vraiment trop puéril
Il y a quelque chose en toi 
D’étrange
Et qui pourtant
Jamais me dérange…..
 
Je n’connais rien aux mandarines, 
La marche du monde
M’est invisible, 
Assis sur le toit 
De mes ruines 
J’me sens parfois 
Comme inutile, 
Elle dit : 
Moi je t’aime bien
Sur ton tas de ruines 
Ta drôle de vie, elle m’émoustille, 
J’aime pas les zéros, 
Ni les queens
Mais je t’aime bien 
Même inutile 
 
MoMo Dit ( Mots Maudits 😝?)
Je n’comprends rien aux mandarines
A vos regards méchants, inutiles
Momo dit :
Que les crétins sont nombreux dans cette ville
Mais leur répondre, ce serait vraiment trop puéril
Les pacotilles sont pas des jonquilles 
Des mecs trop cons, trop moches qui rendent les femmes frigides

'Distant Voices' A Jazz Fusion track featuring Georg Boehme on Saxes and Andy Grossart on Basses. Andy and I first moved to London from Scotland, with a jazz trio almost 50 years ago and here we are almost 50 years later playing together again for the first time since then. 
This has been such a trip for me and with Georg in top form as 
always, the icing on the cake, so to speak.
Life just keeps getting better, from a musical perspective at least.

Distant Voices (Feat. Georg Boehme & Andy Grossart)

Lyrics:
Let's hear it for the loners
We don't take up space in your orgy room
I love the people who bring
Joy into my life
They break the light through
I just like to sit home and watch TV
While I watch the world come unglued

I don't stay out until dawn
I fall asleep with the TV on
You can call it the introvert blues
I just use the energy that people lose
In a different way
I stay at home at night
De-stressing from my day
I don't watch television for genuine smiles

I just use the energy that people lose
I booked us a table for 2
In my interior life
in the east wing
With the ocean view
I don't watch television for genuine smiles
I'm just trying to make it through my day
As characters I like
Oh, like, Vinnie Barbarino
And Walter White
I don't watch television for genuine smiles
I like the blue light coming through
While the world comes unglued

I Don't Watch Television For Genuine Smiles

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.

I'm a baritone sax player & composer in a contemporary jazz genre from Cologne, Germany (and play clarinet and flute, and the other saxes as well). All woodwind parts on these tracks are played by me (multitrack rec.), all other instruments by virtousi virtuali (with three or four exceptions). All arrangements and by far most compositions are by me.
I very much appreciate every kind of collaboration.
