Key=Abm, Tempo 65, Length (m:s)=4:40

Instrumental Adult Contemporary Smooth Jazz HipHop Ballad R&B Soul.

Instruments are :
Electric Bass, Electric Piano, Electric Rhythm Guitar, Electric Muted Guitar and Drums with a HipHop Beat.
Solos on: 
Tenor Sax and Electric Piano. Smooth Jazz Ballad.

Artist/producer Charlie Russell, with his infectious melodies and inventive arrangements on tracks like “OV - Outrageous Vibrations", an original tribute to the great Lionel Hampton, and the radio friendly and artistically intriguing smooth jazz feel goes alone ways towards establishing his sound.

There are moments of a cool soulful groove, with his  ride in jazz improvisation, on the track “Break Up On” H “Street", and the ripping funk bass and horn lines found on the track “From The Mist" with its electrically charged guitar solos.

Charlie Russell is a self-taught musician / songwriter / arranger / producer; his recordings are intentionally melodic, giving you this highly enjoyable first look.

Sometimes, I get really inspired melodies in m head.  I start to work on a composition, and I get interrupted while working. I'm old now. 75 years old, as a matter of fact. I lay down the parts to the track, then play them back to see if what I'm doing is sustainable? Or that I should scrap the whole song. I was fixing to hit delete, and I got interrupted. I had some technical issues, that didn't allow me to correct the problem until today. Tell me if YOU think I should make an effort to repair this damaged  composition? Or go hit delete...Danke
