Way back in the 90th, being a jazz drummer in those long gone days, I wondered a lot about TIME. So I started working on this particular tune. It turned out to be some kind of abstract blues.
Unfortunately those smart lyrics are not mine, the singer wrote them. 
But anyway keep swingin'.

Time's A Rhythm/ Hyper Jazz

The first 10mn of a 45 mn Tone poem in 3 movements. Ouverture / Foreboding- Adagio - Coda/Hope: The rise and Fall. It will include 3 solos voice, piano and cello. So Just the initial idea here. "wisdom will come in ways of pain" And some "Seaboard" playing in the coda.
I have remixed and changed this track which is now part of my new album In Nomine Tellus due for release on the Swedish label the lost gterma this February 2018 ... https://soundcloud.com/the-lost-gterma

Earth Lament

This tune was recorded with my quartet Cool Blue in the early 90th, a time I was musically travelling the world.
