A BETTER PLACE from trumpetist, singer, songwriter and producer David Longoria is a collection of modern Vocal Jazz songs. It takes on important issues of today including songs "Make The World A Better Place" about doing good for the world and for others; "Don't Let Another Mother Cry", addressing violence in the streets that plagues out cities today; "Precious Innocence" taking child abuse headon, "Terra Pax" (Latin for "Peace On Earth") which makes one think about the need for world peace; "Look To The Sun", which reminds us to surrender to the higher power for all the problems, worries and concerns of life in our day. 

There are a few lighter songs as well, "Summertime" features a fresh but respectful take on the Gershwin classic featuring the world class soulful voice of Promise Marks, a relative newcomer but the one who is taking jazz and blues radio by storm. David Longoria dazzles with his cadenza and performance of the 1930s trumpeter's anthem "I Can't Get Started" featuring his melancholy mood throughout both his vocals and his impressive trumpet work. On all songs from this album, David delivers honest and stellar trumpet work reminiscint of trumpet greats of jazz and pop including Freddie Hubbard, Al Hirt, Doc Severinsen, Dizzy Gillespie and others. David's improvisation skills are envied in the commercial world and his solo work shines here from the first song "Make The World A Better Place" (don't miss that breathtaking improvised solo!) all the way to his muted jazz attitude on several other songs.

Bitcoin Billionaire from David Longoria is a fun, modern big band treatment of his song about hitting it big with bitcoin as it takes investors to the moon. or not. But it's a lot of fun and you have never heard traditional big band like this. In fact this isn't your father's big band. Unless David Longoria is your father. and it's more likely Darth Vader is. But listen to this and you'll be dancing like Fred Astaire in no time. Or your money back.

The Journey

Angels - David Longoria - Radio Version 2017

You started with a single cell meeting another single cell, then multilying in doubles until you became who you are. Musically Genesis takes you on that in a cinematic way through the representation of rhythm and melody. The trumpet plays one note, then two, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and so forth. After a bit the development leads to a moment where the heart begins to beat. The theme becomes identifiable as a unique entity which is the soul and essence of you.

Genesis

Playground brings the simplicity of childhood and the fun frolic of youth to the musical journey. As at home in a childlike setting as in a nightclub focusing on let-your-hair-down fun, this catchy tune will make you smile and reminisce of younger carefree days.

Playground

When little boys discover mermaids, they fall in love. Little girls want to be mermaids. Boys find that mermaids are more beautiful than themselves and are very dangerous as well. This fantasy takes you into the world of the mythical creatures of beauty and allure. To the caves of their undersea lives and into the hierarchy of their world. There is a melody that clearly represents the king of the sea as well as conversation between mermaids and someone in teh outerworld who works to communicate with these seductive creatures.

Mermaids

Never Give Up! The line between success and failure involves the ability to persevere past where others give up. Be encouraged. As the great Quincy Jones once told me. "Keep on keeping on."
