Kinda Jazzy, fusion with a happy vibe. (why be depressing) Features the always great Tampa Florida alto sax playing of Jerry Kenney.  More to follow…..

It Might Be Fun

Another great performance from Tampa Alto player Jerry Kenney.  BTW...One of my studio clients that does, shall we say "simpler music" walked into my isolation booth and saw the chart to "Told you It Was Hot" and said  "I guess this isn't a country song".  I know it's a bit complex but what can I say… I love to create music that challenges, excites and delights the senses and I hope I'm doing that for listeners with my tunes. Enjoy, I'll be working on more………..Frank

Told You It Was Hot

Artwork by Alex Cutri. https://www.artstation.com/search?q=digitalcutti   The tune is from my album "Spun Jazz". Released many years ago but I feel is still relevant.  Let me know what you think by leaving me feedback. Thanks, Frank

Knights

Tampa sax man Mike Gibilisco plays a great interpretation of my written melody on "Look At You".

Look At You

Sax man Mike Gibilisco is joined by Tampa bass superstar Ruben Drake on "Carnival".  Man, I've been sitting on this song for too many years but Mike and Ruben finally brought life to my track. I also may have my friend and jazz piano legend Joyce DiCamillo come in on the track later this year for a re-mix.  I'm looking forward to that…….

Carnival

"Ascension"
I twisted Jerry Kenney's arm to to break his alto sax out of semi-retirement to play on this track. (He's a busy guy) So glad he did! Also, thanks to my son-in-law for naming this tune. While I was working out the arrangement, I had a working title I didn't like. I sent a rough mix to Mike and once he heard it, he had it… "Ascension". Yes, That works Mike! thanks

ASCENSION

"THE WAVE"
It's taken me a while to finish this song but I'm happy with the result. Over 20 years in the making..... That's what I call procrastinating! I found a very talented Berklee musician to play guitar, Nick Broomhall, and I believe he really nailed it! His playing and sound really lifts the arrangement and gives it terrific energy. Thanks for a great job Nick! I plan on creating a couple of alternate mixes with a sax/guitar exchange and maybe another with alto sax all the way through. Stay tuned!

THE WAVE

Okay… Full disclosure on this song. When I was in the formative stages of the tune it was going along the way most of my tunes go… a lot of changes! right? I sent a rough mix to a musician I respect very much and he said (unfiltered) and I'm para-phrasing, "Why so many chord changes? Can't you let it groove"? The short answer is no! That's just the way I write! Lots of chord changes with a hopefully interesting melody on top. Don't get me wrong. I came up playing R&B and funk and I love a solid groove that sits there in the pocket and makes you move. And I do think there are elements I hit on throughout my tunes that do just that, this tune included, but I like to keep things moving I believe to keep ME interested. TMI? anyhoo...Hope you all like "This Moment". Also.. spread the link to friends and family that you think might like it too! 
Many thanks to Nick B. for the fine guitar work.

This Moment

I have one CD release called "Spun Jazz" that is older than dirt so I'm trying to add some new tunes to my SoundCloud page to update things a bit…. Go to iTunes to DL "Spun Jazz" or any of the individual songs.  Please post comments so I know what I'm doing right or wrong. Thanks, Frank
