This is a modern rework of that track. I've done my usual smooth jazz guitar thing on it but have rediscovered my dance roots. I think I've breathed new life into this beat - what do you think?

Here's my smooth jazz guitar rework of the classic MJ track.

Bad is the seventh studio album by Michael Jackson. The album was released in 1987 by Epic Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller, which went on to become the world's best-selling album. Bad itself has sold between 30 to 45 million copies worldwide, was certified 9 times Platinum in the United States alone, and has been cited as one of the 30 best-selling albums of all time. The album produced a record five Billboard Hot 100 number one singles

You can't go wrong with an EW&F track. This, one of their best known power ballads really lends itself to a smooth jazz version.

That's the way of the World ---- Earth Wind and Fire

This version is based on the Earth, Wind and Fire arrangement of the Lennon/McCartney classic.

Got To Get You Into My Life ---- The Beatles (Earth Wind and Fire arrangement)

This is the first original track that I have posted for a year. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a tribute to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. For those of you tuned in to obscure musical references it has a bass line reminiscent of the track 'Chameleon' and some ethnic sounds like on the track 'Watermelon man' and no doubt more besides!

"Rock with You" is one of those MJ tracks with loads of happy memories for me.
It was written by a guy just up the road from me, British songwriter Rod Temperton, formerly of the group Heatwave. It was the second single from Michael Jackson's fifth album, Off the Wall.
Many of us consider the Off The Wall album as MJ's first proper album. It came out of nowhere to give him megastar status. It was perhaps the beginning of the end for MJ; he looked human when this was released but his appearance and behavior only declined from there onwards.
It reached number one on both the pop and R&B singles charts. According to Billboard, the song was the fourth biggest single of 1980.

Rock with You ---- Michael Jackson

This was the first EWF track I ever heard and it blew me away! It's great to be doing a modern version 30 years later!

This is my smooth jazz guitar version of the great Isley Brothers song. It's done more in the style of Fourplay who covered it famously. I play bass, lead guitar, and piano solos on this.
The Isley's 1983 album of the same name returned them to the top of the R&B album charts and also peaked at #19 on the Billboard 200

This is what it might have sounded like had Jimi survived to play with Miles Davis during Miles' Tutu/Amandla period (1986). For the first time Miles could embrace synthesizers, sequencing, and drum machines. No doubt Jimi would have too. Add to that a producer who could play bass every bit as well as he could produce, Marcus Miller, and you have a recipe for some awesome music.
On this track I play guitars and sequence Miles trumpet. I am ably assisted by the immensely talented Steve Shone https://soundcloud.com/palmgrease on bass. Don't miss his bass solo at 3 minutes in, Marcus would be proud!
