Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

Their contributions to SoundCloud community are acknowledged, appreciated, treasured and valued! Without them, all other Clouders, SoundCloud would have never existed! We're all we've got on SoundCloud my friends!✌️

Not too long ago, Mocha(pictured)😉 asked for some early 70's Jazz Funk mainly for his music listening reference and to share his Jazz Funk experience with y'all! As a Jazz Funk enthusiast, Mocha thought that he ain't got enough Jazz Funk! Spoiled cat! 😉

Tribute to legendary Jazz Master award winner Jimmy Smith (Jimmy was cats lover by the way) and his highly regarded West coast crew!

What happened on February 8, 1972 at the Bombay Bicycle Club, Los Angeles, California? It was rumored that invited guests including Donald Byrd on trumpet, Joe Farrell on tenor sax, Fred Wesley on trombone, Herbie Hancock on second keyboard, Billy Cobham on second drum-sets, Al Green lead male vocal, Nina Simone lead female vocal and Hot Buttered Soul Unlimited background vocal in addition to this live session! Shit didn't happen as venue promoters were low on cash plus potential legal challenges amongst records labels...etc, it would have been a f**king awesome session! 😉

Here's the timeline:
00:02 to 00:38 Introduction by Jimmy Smith (Unofficial) never before on vinyls or CDs 
00:00 to 00:46 Bluesy mood enhanced by St. Germain 👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRvjSe6yBU&t=1s
00:46 to 11:28 Early jam session prompted by excessive Redbull consumption 😉
11:28 to 17:14 More Redbull consumed plus top quality Blunts 😉
17:14 to 24:52 Oh oh, low on Redbull, extremely low on Redbull and perhaps 30% THC found in those Blunts😱 
24:52 to 36:40 Redbull consumption resumed with Vodka, mucho Vodka added 😉 Root Down!
36:40 to 42:52 Redbull, Vodka consumption continued on with big help from high THC Blunts! 👍 Entire planet were feelin' happier knowing the 10 years senseless Vietnam war nearly ended! 😉 Yeah, let's stay together people! We're all we've got! Humanity rules! Wars suck! ☮️ 😉
42:52 to 52:54 Late jam session triggered by more Redbull Vodka mix happily consumed plus the introduction of Delta-8 Peace out!✌️Lol
52:54 to 64:56 Session ended with alternative version of Root Down! (Previously excluded from vinyls release)

Seriously😉, I was there with few crates full of Jazz Funk records hoping for a 2 hours after party DJ gig but shit didn't happen when studio, records label executives, venue promoters asked me same question "WTF do I know about Jazz Funk?" Besides all, bouncers said I was little too young to be inside the club & you know the rest of the story! To top it off, Mum said Jazz Funk was accountable for my Vodka, Lucky Strike non-filter cigarettes consumption and the use of made in U.S.A Zippo cigarettes lighter at my early age! 😉

Mixing, mastering notes: Raw 24/96 digital audio files continuously mixed using Sony Acid Pro 7 (without beats mapping and EQs involved = Spinning records on turntables without pitch, tempo controls and no DJ mixer)😱 
Final mix mastered with several different mastering specs for different listening environments! This version was specifically mastered for my car reference audio system and I hope it'll work with yours! Happy listening!
