This is the first single off my new CD Kissed By The Sun.... street date is July 1, radio and 'net date is July 9. Jeff Lorber and I worked long and hard to make a really deep and multilayered album, and I believe we succeeded!

Although it is not quite released yet, here are some links to pre-order:

STARPIXIE (radio edit)

This track, Berlin, was on my 2010 album Cool Down which featured Jeff Lorber, Warren Hill, Victor Bailey, Rock Hendricks (Paul Hardcastle), among others....

I think it needed a new coat of paint, and I think the new remix is all that and so much more....

Next up are some tracks from my other past (10) albums which I am remastering for re-release....

Berlin (GMH) remix 09/12/2012

Here is a tune from my 2004 album Come Out Swingin' ... it is being added to a compilation cd and needed a fresh remaster.... This was when I called my group The Jazz Perpetrators..... ahhhh, Round Midnight.... a classic from the lexicon of jazz standards... That's me on flugelhorn, Miles Black on piano, Miles Foxx Hill on bass, and Craig Scott on drums... recorded in my livingroom on a 7" R80 Fostex reel to reel (go figure!) This album spent 8 weeks on the Jazz Week charts...

Round Midnight (remastered)

This is really archival! This track is also going on a compilation disc, so a remastering was in order. The original tapes could not be located, so a high end transfer from vinyl was done by Peter Boehi, a well known Swiss musicologist, engineer, and aficionado. He has a great show on the web:

This was a tune I wrote called Desert Planet for my first solo album, on PolyGram in 1981. This track features the legendary Paul Horn (known mostly for flute) on soprano sax, and Kat Hendrickse on drums, Rene Worst on bass, Graeme Coleman on piano. I have the muted trumpet, of course. This was inspired by the Dune Trilogy......
