Here's my respectful re-imagining of the Jazz standard "So What" by Miles Davis. To say it is not like the original is an understatement. It's funky. 
I did release a version with no horns on it. I did ask some Soundcloud trumpeters for a collaboration but they shied away! Can't blame them, these are big boots to fill. 
The trumpeter who not only has the hutzpah but also the talent to play Miles is Jordy Waelauruw from Jakarta / Indonesia.  You can find him at https://soundcloud.com/jordy-trumpet
So my version has two Steely Dan type guitar solos and breaks into a swing jazz section in between. See if you can spot my vocal debut!
What I like about Miles is that he reinvented himself every decade he was playing. He also reinvented jazz with the album 'Kind of Blue' from which 'So What' was the opening track.
The actor Dennis Hopper, in an interview in 2008 with Men's Journal, claims that Davis named the song after intellectual conversations with Hopper, in which Hopper would reply, "So what?"
According to Wikipedia...
"So What" is one of the best known examples of modal jazz, set in the Dorian mode and consisting of 16 bars of D Dorian, followed by eight bars of E♭ Dorian and another eight of D Dorian. This AABA structure puts it in the thirty-two-bar format of American popular song.
I didn't know that.... I just played it... but then I say the same as Miles...SO WHAT!

Been busy lately: teaching, session recordings, preparing for an interview on a TV show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn4X1FUf_s0). So, didn't have much time for composing & recording anything new. However, I so loved the short melodic motif given to me by one of the hosts on that TV show , that I decided to record another improvisation on that same motif. Hope you enjoy this autumnal piece.

This is first attempt for me to mix my keys with my strings. I'm starting to learn keys the same way I started with my guitar. Just play and listen, then start to study. I've started to study, but its slow.

Beyond The Wizards Sleeve have announced details of the release of 'Black Crow', the latest single to be taken from their recently released, much acclaimed debut album 'The Soft Bounce'.
 
Released on Phantasy October 7th, 'Black Crow' is the third single to be taken from the album. Part American Gothic, part future movie soundtrack, it’s a song of haunting beauty. Holly Miranda's vocal glides across reflective strings and delicate crystalline snippets of sound, resulting in an epic torch song lament. It’s backed with White Crow, Erol Alkan's mighty extended reworking of the song, placing it in spacious widescreen, where you can hear for miles.

Recent praise for The Soft Bounce:
 
'Album Of The Week' The Guardian ★★★★
'Alkan and Norris really do possess the magic touch' – Q ★★★★
“A brilliant debut which fizzes with inventiveness” - The Line Of Best Fit ★★★★★★★★
'A brilliant distillation of everything BTWS stand for: A trip in every sense' – Loud & Quiet ★★★★★★★★
'It’s been well worth the wait' – Mixmag ★★★★★★★★
'The Soft Bounce is a joy from start to finish' – Shindig ★★★★★
"A buffet of musical influences and styles” - The Digital Fix ★★★★★★★★
'The whole thing really is a treat' – 'Album Of The Month' Electronic Sounds
"A breathtaking gift of creativity and a musical treat of many colours and flavours” - Renowned For Sound ★★★★★

Slow blues with first time vocal (I'll get better I swears it)

The Love Game

This song was inspired by a motorcycle trip with Anthony Robles. We headed south, leaving all the "stuff" behind, kind of just got lost in time. You always have to come back though right. Thanks to Bill Keeley for helping find the right sound for the trip part.

Lost In Time

In Love With Godin

The Good Folk
I think of time well spent, friends, family.I felt this way about this piece, time well spent, even though this music is probably just for a few, mainly ,me.

Jam But No Bread

I am liking very much the music. I maka the music, then, I pull my pants down and I go to bed. Itz good life yes!

I play six string and some keys (my love of my life threw me a curve in May, bought me keys, I don't know keys). Truth is, I'm liking the keys. I built a semi pro studio in a bedroom that we tossed my mom out of. It's working, having mom being gone, not the studio, studio and I got a lot of getting acquainted to do, but I love this stuff.
I also like motorcycling and fly fishing. My work background is Finance/Accounting, but now I maka the music, then I pull my pants down, and you guessed it, I go to bed.
