I almost chose the name "Free Agent" for this track b/c it maybe would better describe my playing, meaning e.g. that I do not always see the borders between different music genres or styles as very decisive for my playing and in music generally. That is why I for example earlier made a version of the Albinoni/Giazzotto Adagio in G Minor orchestrated for Rhodes electric piano sound.

I first came to know the acid jazz genre especially through the giants Jamiroquai, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies in the mid-1990's and before that through the Australian band Directions In Groove (D.I.G.). I most certainly am not a trained jazzer but that did not stop me from trying to make an improvised "smooth acid jazz" track. Played by me with my Korg SGProX digital piano using the following sounds: the Lounge Lizard EP-4 (the top class Rhodes electric piano and lead sounds), the Scarbee Jay-Bass (played from near the bridge) and the unbelievable Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer. The basic drum groove made by me. I tried to decrease the "boxiness" of the kick drum and bring out the bite of the bass but I don't know whether I managed...

Lyrics below.  Here is the story behind this song:

SHAKESHAFT

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a crutch
He couldn't get past
He told stories in the neighborhood
About the times he did good
Taking on the wolf pack

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

He took them down in a court of law
Only to win, not to draw
He gave up on that path
He lived in town in a corner loft
The demons came and then they'd claw
Right up on his back 

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

When he was running, when he was holding
The wind would advance
It would blow in and take a hold in his mind and his hands
He tried to resist it, but he would miss it and everything would crash

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a drug
He couldn't walk back

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He's at peace at last

Paul Stephanides

Advent:

In the Protestant church, it commemorates the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in particular. 2nd Advent: It serves as preparation for the return of Christ. 3rd Advent: It commemorates John the Baptist. 4th Advent: In the Catholic Church in particular, the focus here is on Mary, the Mother of God.

Like all Sundays in Advent, the 2nd Advent is named after the opening hymn of the Holy Mass: Populus Sion. The redemptive aspect of God takes center stage on the second Sunday of Advent. On this day, Christians particularly commemorate the prophesied redemption from all earthly suffering through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross.
