Man, the horns in this and some of your other stuff really elevate things. Love the instrumentation & production here.

Great track everything is carefully arranged with correct melodies & instruments SUPER played and production..just to enjoy..!!

Great solos and performances on all instruments! Excellent jazz track!

Hm... I thought I overdid this part a little... part after some weeks, it turns out quite nice.

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.

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

'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

Imagination Becomes Reality - Alan Hamilton & Georg Boehme

'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.
Alan.

'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.

Accessing The Inner Worlds

Accessing The Inner Worlds (Hamilton and Boehme)

I think we sometimes worry too much about what someone else may think and not enough about what we think is right. It's like being in a lecture afraid to raise your hand to ask a question because you are afraid others will laugh at you but come to find out everyone had the same question.Live your life your terms. just don't hurt anyone and respect others

lyrics
now that I'/ older and my sight is poor
I can see things I never saw before
now that I'm older and my hearing is poor I can hear all the things you've been telling me for years

I see the old men alone in the park
wishing they were younger and had a new start
I didn't realize until just now
that I am living their dream every time I wake up
but the dream's slipped into the shadows for me
it's slipped through my hands
time hides in the shadows and waits, disguised as forever 
until it's too late

you can't go back you can only regret
so take your best shot don't second guess
you can feel what is right and you know what is wrong
don't just write down the words you're thinking
stand up and sing the song out loud

don't worry about what others might say
at the end of it all it's your own judgement day

It's your call

As Edgar Allan Poe was writing his famous poem "The Raven" , his young wife Virginia was severely ill with Tuberculosis (to which she would succumb 2 years later). The poems theme of a lonely man grieving for a lost love visited by a mysterious raven, invokes the grief that Poe experienced repeatedly during his life from the loss of close female figures, starting with his mother ( who died when he was aged two). Following the death of Virginia in 1847, Poe became increasingly unstable and died in mysterious circumstances only two years later, aged 40.

The video that accompanies this piece uses AI to animate Poe's photographic portrait while film clips show footage from a 1909 short film directed by D.W Griffith. The film is a non biographical re-imagining of events, that show Poe writing The Raven in order to buy medicines for his wife, who upon his return after successfully selling the poem to a publisher has tragically succumbed in his absence.

Sous les charmilles 

La pente était légère 
et mon coeur battait fort. 
Et je cherchais mon père
et je cherchais ma mère.

dernière maison à gauche, 
mes souvenirs oscillent. 
un fauteuil de skaï brun, 

où je me laisse glisser. 


Loin du charivari, 
un vertige me saisit, 
une douce mélopée; 
mon coeur battait si fort. 

Sous le vieux pont fleuri 
où le tragique dérive. 
Un arbre déraciné, 
Une barque enchainée. 

Je suis l'enfant, au bord du marigot, 
trésor précieux d'humanité. 
On peut toujours s'améliorer, 
sur les rives cabossées

Sous les charmilles 
et le vieux pont fleuri

ma vie en vrac 

ma vie foutraque
 

Mes souvenirs oscillent, 
je me laisse glisser. 
Sous les charmilles, 
nous étions écoliers.   

La pente était légère 
et mon coeur battait fort. 
Et je cherchais mon père
et je cherchais ma mère.

'Isnae This Isnae That' is a Jazz Fusion track and is a collaboration with Georg Boehme. 
Georg is reponsible for all wind arrangements and wind solos.
I furnished the basic composition and all other parts including the finished production .
You can hear all of Georg's work on this page https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
This has been another wonderfully exciting musical journey with Georg. His creativity and playing skills are a joy to work alongside. His optimism and positivity are evident when listening to his wonderful playing and soloing.
The word 'Isnae' in the title is from the Old Scots dialect and simply means 'Isn't'
Thanks for listening and please leave a comment if you have the time or inclination.

Isnae This Isnae That

This is a song that began with Steve (Steve's Planet)writing, playing it on acoustic guitar, and singing it on a stem he shared with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four]), who added some perfect drums, as always. Ken then shared it with me, who added bass, and Tez (Llanpsych), who added some brilliant, tasteful guitar fills. We then got JJ involved, and he added the great, undulating organ. Finally, we got the master chef involved, Chris (cgmaness), who came up with some killer guitar riffs and mixed the whole thing very expertly. It must've been quite a chore, too, because there are a lot of magicians in this show. We all really feel lucky that Steve shared this song with us, and admire his singing and songwriting. We hope you enjoy our creation!

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.
