Burning it Up With SoundCloud Friends

We had a blast pulling this together.  Its a simple blues/gospel riff on organ in F, that sets up some wonderful opportunities for heavy jams over the top by Justin and Tom, two of the finest blues players I have ever recorded with.  Tom has the solos with a more treble sound, and Justin boosts his midrange and bass.  Check out their SoundCloud pages if you are not familiar.  They are bad ass, just like this tune.  Let us know what you think!

Bad Ass Blues - with Justin Valente and Tom Adams / guitars

What fun pulling this together with three serious musicians.  You probably know Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente's awesome blues oriented guitars, and they stretch out here on this funk / soul / fusion groove.  Burning it up they are.  And joining us on Alto Sax is recording artist Matt Criscuolo.  Look for him at mattcriscuolo.com.  These guys just play their ass off here.  Started with an internet fusion loop, I added many keyboard lines to funk it up to the max, and we added these pros.  Joe takes the opening solos for the first four minutes, Justin follows, and we finish with all the guys trading off.  So much energy.  Positive energy here.  Put this on and relax.  Hope you enjoy the entire tune - an extended play jam.  Damn this is burning.... Thanks for listening.  The guys would love your thoughts....

Funk And Burn - With Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente guitars and Matt Criscuolo alto sax

Dan van den Berg steals the show here on a Miles type modal groove, while breaking a high E string in the process.  See if you can find where:)  A special tune for us to toast Miles like this.  From the late 60s on Miles always had one or two super serious fusion guitar players on stage with him - John McLaughlin, Pete Cosey, Mike Stern, Barry Finnerty, John Scofield, Robin Ford and Foley.  He would have dug Dan's wonderful playing.  Thanks for you listens, likes, comments and shares.  The stunning photo was taken by our son Cameron at Machu Pichu, Peru

And here's a playlist of the 20+ tunes that Dan and I have recorded together.  Wonderful music:) https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/dazzling-em-dan-van-den-berg

Taking It Up - Dan van den Berg / Jamie Rhind

Such a pleasure to have Norway's brilliant guitarist Ronny Heimdal  https://soundcloud.com/ronny-heimdal join me again, this time on Purple Mountain.  Ronny's playing and creativity is world class, and he makes this heavy modal fusion original come to life with his listening, note selection and phrasing, interaction with my synth lines, and finally his engineering abilities.  My deepest appreciation goes out to him for jumping in to help us climb the Purple Mountain together.   

This photo is of the stunning Norwegian fjords, a magical place that I am looking forward to exploring someday.

Thanks as always for your listening, for your comments and for your sharing among your friends.  Please go to Ronny's gallery to check out more of the superb music he has created and recorded.  A very fine keyboard player as well as guitarist, Ronny should be followed by any musician interested in fusion, jazz rock and progressive rock.

Purple Mountain - with Ronny Heimdal / Electric Guitar

Gotta love the open invitation from Scotland's finest SC guitarist, fuzzmaster and executive chef Ian Tait https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait to join him on this heavy funk rocker.  Ian's signature funky sound and outstanding Wah playing were just what the doctor ordered for me, so I jumped in with some heavy synth guitar patch to try and match Ian's electricity on my keyboard.  On this track I take the first and third solos.  Damn this was fun Ian!!!  You are back with a vengeance.

Thanks as always for your time listening, to your welcome comments and for your shares.

LYRICS
I was looking for answers to questions I'd heard
I was looking for reasons that were not so absurd
But no answers came although I shouted out loud
And they locked me away for standing out in the crowd

My friends came to visit and said I hope you are well
Now don't get excited 'cos it must be hell
So I just crossed my arms in a suit that they'd made
And I said nothing and just looked away

The times of day and night are gone
I'm feeling dark but I could be wrong

Instrumental

So i'll just sit and be a good boy again
And close my eyes and  dream of rain

Outro

Dreaming of Rain

Dedicated to those who fight the virus.You are not alone.We are not alone.

This song I loved very much in my youth fits in nowadays as well. You can have much fun with talking about nothing and hearing about nothing, but if you try to talk about really important things, you get the "Sound of Silence" in return.

Dreaming of the innocent years
