great playing and recording. and that ride cymbal sounds so good.

Very intense in mighty, dark and sharp Tribal Jazz expression. Intriguing severity of guitar progression. An unusual theme in its genre... :)

Bit of a classic rock vibe happening here. :)

Ominous horns. And this descending part is awesome.

Intensely exhilarating...great timing, melodic guitar and punctuating accents 💟🌷🔥👄🔥🌷💟

Lenny 

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love
That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Let it come, let it go
Being free is the only way to be
That means a lot for this little puppy
It doesn’t think
It feels an act for free

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy
No, no, no

Is that a ghost?
Is that a shadow?
Is that thing lost?
Is it my fellow?
It is not love
It’s just me 
Or you 
In the dark!

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away
That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves…

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy

Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not
Lenny
Bambambambambam…
Lenny lives on Mars

LENNY

Happiness, A Moving Target

Well its time to recite
What’s to become, what’s to be done
Cant care enough, can’t get enough
The grass is always greener on the other side

You tell me where to go
You tell me where to go
Hanging on keep hanging on
Can't tell us where we’ve been
Or where tomorrow is
You don’t know, I don’t know


Try to run, try to hide
Unknot the knot under the knot
Seek the truth and it’s all lie
Control is what we’re after and its not enough

You tell me where to go
You tell me where to go
Hanging on keep hanging on
Can't tell us where we’ve been
Or where tomorrow is
You don’t know, I don’t know

Its a fiction I’m addicted to it carries me
Waiting to resolve in your tragedy 
And you fight it and you buy it in the end you see
I’m begging and my knees are sore 
Just tell me what you need and go.

You tell me where to go
You tell me where to go
Hanging on keep hanging on
Can't tell us where we’ve been
Or where tomorrow is
You don’t know, I don’t know

It’s religion and ambition with no guarantee
Trying to retire from this senseless dream
But they raise you and they praise you
Just to wear out your senses
Tell me where I got to go
Tell me how I need you so.t

This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...

Get It Right

Pop this on and groove for a while... 
Stringburner sets that great funky groove down low, Sam's flute is dancing and Al's burning it up on guitar.  And they dance and dance.  So much fun on our original, Good Luck.
How nice to line up this ensemble - each of these guys is superb.  Mirko's https://soundcloud.com/stringburner driving a classic '72 Mustang Mach 1 and it shows.  His and our deep love for Jaco comes through here too.  Follow his extensive collection of recordings with some of my favorite players.  We've done over 60 tunes together:
Sam Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero has such a wonderful sound here on flute, and so tastefully lightens it up with his gorgeous latin phrasing.  Fortune to have him as he's just returned from gigs in beautiful Mallorca.  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-santi-caballero
Alan Schulman https://soundcloud.com/alanschulman  plugs in here - a good thing - and pushes us all with his drive, articulation and chops.  https://www.alanschulman.com  Check out the superb music he creates with his wife Stacey, with As Is.  https://www.asisjazz.com. She is a wonderful vocalist.  Here's a playlist of tunes we have recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-al-schulman and Al wrote the liner notes to one of my first albums.
Great stuff guys.  And thanks to all for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares
