Bargain Basement Blues

Jazzy blues collaboration with blues axeman Joseph Bongiovanni, who brings it home with an accompanying B3 organ groove, in the swinging style of jazz organ great Jimmy Smith.  Think you'll like this one.  Always fun working with Joe, who was just invited to the International Blues Competition in Memphis.  He can play his ass off...

Here's a tribute to the legendary pianist McCoy Tyner, one of my most important musical inspirations.  Check out his recordings with John Coltrane from the early '60s, and the power and creativity of his lines, using highly percussive fifths and fourths in his left hand, and fourths and pentatonic scales in his right.  One of the most important jazz pianist of the 20th century, McCoy continues to inspire to this day...

enjoy this spring shuffle with Tom Adams.  One of the very finest guitarists on SoundCloud, Tom is the consummate blues axeman.  Love his playing and hope you enjoy too. This is what we are feeling after a three day Memorial Day weekend.  Enjoy....

Post Holiday Blues - With Tom Adams / guitar

We had a blast pulling this together.  Its a simple blues/gospel riff on organ in F, that sets up some wonderful opportunities for heavy jams over the top by Justin and Tom, two of the finest blues players I have ever recorded with.  Tom has the solos with a more treble sound, and Justin boosts his midrange and bass.  Check out their SoundCloud pages if you are not familiar.  They are bad ass, just like this tune.  Let us know what you think!

Bad Ass Blues - with Justin Valente and Tom Adams / guitars

Bringing a soulful sound to SoundCloud with this one.  Lifetime recording artist, soul vocalist, saxophone and harmonica player Johnny Pugh sits in with blues guitarist extraordinaire Justin Valente and me on an emotional Ray Charles type slow jam.  What a wonderful surprise to hear Johnny's beautiful harp lines, which fit perfectly with Justin's raw electric blues energy.  Real proud of this one, as it captures the heart and spirit of why we all love SoundCloud.   Check out Johnny and Justin's music here - you will love their playing.  Thanks for listening.

Kicking back with a soulful Summer organ groove.  This one was inspired by my favorite Hammond B3 Organ players -- the greats:  Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFrancesco, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, Larry Young.

Hope you enjoy the groove and playing as much as I do.  Thanks as always for listening and commenting.

B3 Groovin'

The brilliant Dan van den Berg https://soundcloud.com/danarchx and I are thrilled to share a tribute to two of our favorite bands, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.  These seminal bands and their musicians were so important to the merging of rock and jazz, many having come out of Miles Davis' fusion band, and featured virtuoso soloists and creativity that had not been seen before with electric music.  Dan here plays both electric and acoustic guitars, and has added so very much of himself to this modal tune.  The tune features a repeating simple lick, with dueling aggressive synth and guitar solos that these bands pioneered and took to a very high level, with John McLaughlin and Al DiMiola on guitars and Jan Hammer and Chick Corea on keyboards.     Please check out more of Dan's extraordinary music at https://soundcloud.com/danarchx .  

As always, we thank you for your time listening, your comments and your shares.  Enjoy Mahafusionu....

Here's a tasty blues shuffle with New York's outstanding guitarist Alan Schulman laying it down.  Thanks for joining me on this one Al.  Alan used to tour and record with Charles Earland, one of the top B3 players in the world.  Hopefully I didn't pull him down too much with this swinger.  And don't forget to check out Al's wonderful playing at https://soundcloud.com/alanschulman

If you are looking for a great groove, check out Uptown Groove by Boston's serious funkmaster Master Tony D https://soundcloud.com/mastertonyd . Tony has his funk down solid, and I've been loving his vibe ever since I found SoundCloud last year.  Tony asked me to join him on this great groove, and I of course jumped in with a few synth tracks, doing my Herbie thing.  
Check out the groove Tony lays down here - outstanding for sure.  And check out his large collection of funk originals  https://soundcloud.com/mastertonyd

In poker, you double down when you get two aces.  And that's just what we have here...two aces.  Scott Nelson and Mirko Borach.  Both superb musicians and guys who you put money on.  So fortunate to have both here on SoundCloud - Scott https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064 is from outside of Philadelphia, and is a complete master on guitar.  We had to team him up with another master on bass, Essen Germany's Mirko Borach, who is well known here on SC as Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Full credit to these wonderful players as they bring our original Double Down to life with me.  Follow these guys and head back into their galleries here for so many exceptional pieces.  I've recorded over twenty with Mirko and now five with Scott.  Loved each one and hope you will too.

Thanks to all for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

Cissy Strut is a funky, New Orleans type groove recorded initially by the Meters, and then performed and recorded by so many musicians.   Scott suggested the tune and we've decided to style it after a favorite version recorded by John Scofield.  We've lined up some great great players to bring Cissy Strut to SoundCloud - Scott Nelson and Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitars, Mirko "Stringburner" Borach on bass and Alpha Roots with his signature djembe sound.  Scott's got the first solo and plays sweet rhythm guitar over the track, Pinner takes the second guitar solo, and I follow on Hammond Organ.  What fun this was for all of us.  
Follow each of these serious players:

Scott Nelson, Mirko Borach and I are back with a real sweet original funk track...Coffee Grind.  Scott and Mirko have recorded so much with me  - more than 30 tunes each - and here's another great example of SoundCloud working across continents.  Scott's a deep creator, a fantastic bass player as well, and goes to town with the hot opening and solo work.  Mirko's on fire again, in his funky element and just grooves and grooves here.

Often there is sacrifice for freedom.  Bringing these emotions to you is Ohio's superb guitarist Joe Bongiovanni, who tears out his heart and soul again on this blues.  Joe's a many times finalist at the World Championships of Blues competition and brings with him a sound as sweet as it gets.

How cool of Zurich producer Paul Racle to be making music for everyone else.  You've gotta love the attention Paul throws into Shell Game, from his signature funk bass sound to the crisp funky drumming.  Sounded to me like it only needed a synth line -
Follow Paul's extensive collection of original recordings and collabs: https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle .   This is our ninth tune together - thanks to Paul's outpouring of original music.  We hope you love it:)https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/playing-with-paploviante

Shell Game - with Paul Racle / everything but the synth solo

It's Sunday and no time better for a little grooving...this one's a little soulful blues and the photo's from the greatest blues club of all, Chicago's Kingston Mines.  When you visit Chicago be sure to go at least one night.  Live blues on two rotating stages from 8p - 4a every night of the year.   And if you can play they often let you sit in.  People all over bringing instruments for late night action.  Named our newest dog Koko Taylor, who's photo in in the poster on the wall - the Queen of Chicago Blues.

Grooving together for fair Immigration on our Jazz Hop original, You Wish You Could.  Joined here with the soulful Joe Bongiovanni on guitar, the always funky Mirko Borach on bass, and my brother David Rhind laying down the fine trumpet sounds.  This one's about Donald Trump's promise to create a border wall to keep out immigrants, that hasn't quite come to fruition.  

Let's get the vote out.  We need a change.

The painting shows my hometown, the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, the place that I will forever hold dear in my heart.

I know you must be busy
And life cannot be easy
To find the energy to go on

The night unfurls its splendor
My thoughts are sweet and tender
Hoping we can chat when you logon

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online


The night turns into morning
Melancholy is boring
WiFi is dead, our networks misaligned

I overthink, I stutter
Under my breath I mutter
If only I could see what's on your mind

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か

chorus:

I want to see you
I want to hear your voice
Would be happy to meet even just for a bit

Where are you
Don't hide
Will you come back?
