Enjoy this Jazz Kitchen remix and master of a superb guitar quartet arranged and performed by a musician in the Pittsburgh area.

The original 7 track recording was well done in his home with a decent consumer level mic and a laptop. The remix and master bring forward the tonal richness and stylistic perfection of his arrangement and performance.

"Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella" is a traditional piece of music. This recording is used with permission of the artist, Solomon Lytle. Additional music by Solomon is available at solomonlytle.musicaneo.com

For convenient, hassle free remote mix/mastering, contact the jazzkitchenstudio.com. This is an entirely on-line service where we will upload your home recording files and email your remixed and final mastered tracks back to you.

Jeanette Isabella

This is the title piece for this project, appropriately called "Comfort". Approximately 8 minutes long, this piece uses the sounds of the ocean, a resting heartbeat and sweeping but gentle instruments as well as vocal lines to create a comforting ambience that may bring a child to sleep or calm a stressed, agitated adult. The music is tuned to A = 444 Hz and corresponds to solfeggio tones that are nurturing, liberating and quiet fears. 

Comfort

Barbara received this song as a picture – a picture of two First Nation elders (friends of ours, Kenny and Louise Blacksmith) gently paddling a canoe in the early morning in front of their village. They have a vision of the amazing heritage and future of their people. The lyric for the song was inspired by sacred scripture, particularly Hebrews 11:33-35. Special thanks to Gerard Roberts for native flute, Jacqueline Pearson for background vocal and Myron Hiebert for fretless bass line.

We are honoured to have been given this song and to have been able to record it for others.

Unexpectedly captured this live recording of the song during Revive, April 2018. It’s raw and emotional and full of peace. I could never capture this in a studio. You can’t really duplicate the presence of the moment but you can experience it again through the recording. Put in your headphones!

With thanks to the band Loose Change Quintet. Barry Simmons/Drums, Ryan Ethier/Bass, Scott Mason/Guitar, Laura Porter/Vocals & Percussion, Larry and Jacqueline Pearson Vocals, Barbara Simmons/Vocal&Keys. Recording by Tyler Cowie.
