Michael Jackson

sober

This playlist has my reworking of my fave tracks by my fave artists. https://www.bennysutton.com/ for more
The golden rule of cover versions is to make the track your own. I'm aiming for a modern update that respects the original. Whether or not I've succeeded? You are the judge!
I would have loved to have played with the original artistes. I hope if they ever hear them they smile. You too dear listener!
;-)

more!

Here's my smooth jazz guitar version of Human Nature off the Thriller album by Michael Jackson. It was written and composed by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis, and the MJ version was produced by Quincy Jones. Personally I love the Miles Davis version the best but then he is the Main Man! There's a little muted trumpet in there for Miles, see if you can spot it

This is a modern rework of that track. I've done my usual smooth jazz guitar thing on it but have rediscovered my dance roots. I think I've breathed new life into this beat - what do you think?

A modern re-imagining of the classic Weather Report track by the cream of jazz players on Soundcloud

Guitars Benny Sutton @bennysutton	UK
Bass Barry Likumahuwa @barry-likumahuwa	Indonesia
Drums Alan "Quorn" Corne @quorns-drumming-world	Austrailia
Clarinets Michel Martineau @michel-martineau	Canada

Birdland was written by keyboardist Joe Zawinul of Weather Report. The piece made its debut on Weather Report’s 1977 studio album, Heavy Weather.

Benny Sutton says...
"You know the original was recorded in the studio in one take! Our version took a bit longer than that. The musicians come from all around the World and have never met! We swapped our parts and backing tracks over the Soundcloud platform taking six months in total to complete"

"Birdland" served as a tribute to the New York jazz club of that name on 52nd street NYC
Joe Zawinul once said "I met Miles there, and Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong; I met my wife Maxine there"

Benny says..
"Thank you all the musicians who created this track - and thanks to Joe, Wayne, and Jaco for giving us Birdland. Weather Report never had a guitarist. I hope that, if they had, it would sound like this!" 

Birdland feat. Benny Sutton, Barry Likumahuwa, Alan Corne, Michel Martineau  (downloadable)

Bed stay in bed
The feeling of your skin locked in my head Smoke smoke me broke

On and on and on
Let’s go
Now if we’re talking body...

Nasty Freestyle - T-wayne

Thriller is an interesting rework. The melody line hasn't got a lot of notes to it - yet works instrumentally. Like many MJ tracks it relies on an insistent and repetitive muted guitar part to drive it along.
Thriller is the title track from the 1982 album of the same name. This album was the follow up to the 1979 Off the Wall album and firmly established MJ a a megastar.
The video accompanying this track also broke new ground by being shot with cinematic values - which also made it the most expensive video ever (at that time).
People forget its importance. MTV was in it's infancy and by getting heavy rotation 'broke' the crossover R&B/rock style to a wider audience.

I did this remix in february 2011. It was the first single of MJ after his tragic death.
Dirty Dutch combined with a more progressive sound, very radio friendly...I hope you like it!

"I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting it on
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all 

I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda lonely 

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you 

Pick up daddy's at the playground
How I spend my day time
Loosen up their frown, make them feel alive Oh make it fast and greasy I'm numb and way too easy

You're gone and i gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh Ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze, tryin to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you"

Love Guitar? You're in the right place!
I'm different! I play melodies - even when improvising!

ABOUT ME
I play the music I like to listen to. 
As a guitarist I like to think I have my own style.
Harmony, and the groove is what I'm chasing, hopefully with a tasteful, nuanced, and distinctive presentation. 
I don't have a genre as such. I could sort of call myself a smooth Jazz 'n' Blues guitar 'thang' but in reality every track crosses over multiple strands of R&B/Jazz/Funk/Pop. Don't be put off by my use of the "J" word. Jazz to me is anything unpredictable and I'm nothing if not contemporary. 
Rhythm playing is as much a part of my "game" as lead soloing. I love the Funk!
My main instrument is guitar. I play a 1973 Ovation Breadwinner, an Ibanez nylon stringed and a Yamaha keyboard loaded with Keyscape. Unless stated I play all the other instruments too (mostly Bass), and sequence MIDI and arrange/produce. 

MY JOURNEY
I was signed with Fresh Air records and EMI in the 1980's creating Jazz/funk dance tracks but things were just as challenging then as they are now for musicians so I got a 'proper job' for 20 years! During all that time my guitar was in the loft! I rediscovered music in 2010 and Soundcloud in 2014.


MY SOUNDCLOUD
I am grateful to Soundcloud listeners who take the time to press |>Play - and especially if you give me some feedback :-)
I hope what you hear will draw you in sufficiently to explore on my own website. Nearly all my original stuff (6 albums worth) are on www.BennySutton.com and all are downloadable.
Please don't follow me in hope of getting to get an automatic follow back. I don't do that because I only follow the smallest number of people I can keep track of. I'll have a look at your page but will only follow back if you are really of interest to me. See my follow list, you'll discover some very talented artistes, many of whom I have been lucky to Collab. Soundcloud really is the place to find the real innovators these days - not the music industry approved channels, especially MTV!
If you want to get my attention, send me a PM.
