@fordedotpaddy: Alphio's Groove for sure:)  Thanks Paddy

@joe-bowers-837479862: we thank you Joe for the great comment and big share too.  Alphio created such a groove here - had to do something nice to complement it

I can see this as a backtrack for a 70's movie (Harry ?).

Alphio's music is some of the coolest and most creative here on SoundCloud, using space to define the music more than notes.  Always a less is more approach, except when it comes to his vast collection of musical output, which must be rooted in rhythm, often in reggae, and comes with a positive voice and spirit.  So when Alpha Roots's Alphio recently posted this Acid Jazz Jam, I had to jump in.  Acid Jazz came out of the 80's, combining hip hop, soul and jazz.  You will recognize some famous piano chords and comping that Alphio used from the classic '50s Dave Brubeck Take 5, and I added back in the first part of the melody on piano as a motif.  Alphio's laid down the rhythm, grooving bass line and piano comping here and I've added the Hammond Organ, piano melody and a couple of little synth ideas.  We hope you enjoy this.  And check out Alphio's fantastic collection of original music at his gallery:  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.
