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

Nothing like the thrills of the '70s Muscle Cars.   How 'bout a '72 Camero...

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

'72 Camero

1971 was an important time in music, where electricity was changing the landscape and Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz were all merging into psychedelic grooves.  Marshal stacks were often taller than the players, the players were higher than the Marshal stacks, Strats and Les Pauls were the axes of choice, Hammond B3 Organs and Fender Rhodes keyboards could compete for volume with the guitars, and the hair was even longer than the jams.   Woodstock was a recent memory, Jimi Hendrix had just passed but had moved into the funk and soul inspired Band of Gypsies period, Sly & The Family Stone was heating it up with heavy funk and soul inspired grooves, and Miles Davis had just released the seminal Bitches Brew fusion double album that literally changed music.  This was where it was at, with each of these musicians and bands being influenced by each other.  Great stuff that produced legendary sessions and recordings and pushed music forward with power, energy, groove and volume.  

1971 commemorates this time and mindset, and recreates the feel with friends from around the world who continuously exhibit this spirit, energy and hair in their playing:

Alpha Roots - djembe  Stuttgart, Germany  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots
Rikard From - Hammond B3 organ  Umea, Sweden  https://soundcloud.com/rikard-from
Stephen "Pinner" Lipinski - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/pinner
Scott Nelson - guitar  Pennsylvania, USA  https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064
Marco Oversteegen - guitar  Almere, Netherlands  https://soundcloud.com/marco-oversteegen
Justin Valente  - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente
Jorg Calaminus - Dusseldorf, Germany - mastering

A couple of words on each of the players:  ALPHA ROOTS - Alphio was the perfect choice to add his soulful African djembe percussion voice.  One of the most prolific and inclusive musicians here on SoundCloud, always speaking with a positive voice.  Check out his often reggae and dub inspired recordings.  RICKARD FROM - my favorite B3 player here on SoundCloud.  We haven't recorded before but wanted his beautiful sound and also wanted these other heavy cats to be introduced to his Jimmy Smith type playing.  STEPHEN "PINNER" LIPINSKI - one of the hottest jazz fusion guitarists on SoundCloud, bringing more modern Scofieldesque jazz lines and harmonies to 1971.  SCOTT NELSON - another burning jazz and fusion guitarist, Scott sound combines elements of the contemporary guitar masters - Scofield, Metheny and Martino - to create his extraordinary playing.  MARCO OVERSTEEGEN - no one on SC has a closer overall sound to Hendrix, and we needed Marco's fabulous rhythm playing and soloing to anchor this 1971 mood.  JUSTIN VALENTE - Justin's my favorite blues rock guitarist, and just had to be a part of this summit, bringing us that heavy electric sound of Jimi, The Allman Bros, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.  

So here's 1971.  Again.

Thanks to these great players for joining me and contributing so much to 1971, and also to all the listener, for your generous time, your comments and your shares.  And a special thanks to Jorg Calaminus for taking the initiative to master the sound for us to give you this real fine mix.

Sometimes it is better to just listen and think.  Some feel good gospel for you here with such an impressive lineup.  Al Schulman starts things with his beautiful swinging guitar, Scott Nelson is next with more soul and passion, and then back to Al to finish.  Mirko Borach again anchors such a fine bass line and the superb Johnny Pugh jumps in with big time harp.  I'm having a blast with the keyboards here.

Had to jump in again the Zurich's master producer and bass player Paul Racle, who created this grooving  track for collaboration. Check out his bad ass bass line.  I've added a bari sax and trombone lines, a rhodes and Hammond organ.  The middle of it really reminds me of the classic sound the Crusaders had in the '70s.   We hope you enjoy it.

Pied Piper presents IMAGO
Beautifully crafted piece of summery NU-JaZZ Fusion, a slinky, retro confection of irresistible grooving of a certain vintage, it’s a sun-kissed serenade to another era. The instrumentals add a soulful gravitas: there are echoes of dub, nu-jazz, bossa, chillout, free jazz and future jazz: all masterminded by Pied Piper. 
A stunning funky / soulful JAZZY house and well crafted ultra GROOVY slick tunes taking us back to a time when attention was paid to music, instrumentation, melody, rhythm, groove and SOUL! 

It's all about improviser’s art playing sonic backdrop colored by fragments of electronic sounds, rhythms and samples swimming through the music. Amid this world of altered realities and fresh possibilities, digital computer editing-literally cutting and pasting sound-allows for juxtapositions never even dreamed about in Charlie Parker’s day.

Adam Deitch Quartet - "Dot Org"

"Dot Org" is the Adam Deitch Quartet's first single from the upcoming debut album Egyptian Secrets.

Adam Deitch - Drums
Wil Blades - Organ
Eric Benny Bloom - Trumpet
Ryan Zoidis - Saxophone

A note about "Dot Org" from Adam Deitch:
I wrote this song completely inspired by a few late night gigs I did with Wil and the guys in San Francisco. We were playing mostly covers and I knew we needed tunes that were OURS. I wanted to combine elements of Wayne Shorter, "Adams Apple" and "Speak No Evil" era tunes with Hip-Hop groove undertones.

Unbearable Moonlight

MY INNOCENCE

I FELL IN THE VERY LAST DAY
WITH THE COLD WINTER WIND RUNNING ON  MY FACE
THERE WAS NO SORROW OR PAIN
WHEN I LOST IN A SECOND MY INNOCENCE

WET EYES WRENCHING MY SOUL
WHEN I STILL WAS A BOY IN A GOLDEN WORLD
I FELL FROM MY BRIGHT THRONE
IN THE DARK  AND DEEP GRAVE OF MY INNOCENCE

I FELL IN THE VERY LAST TIME
WHEN I WALKED IN THE WAVES OF MY EASY LIFE
THERE WAS NO SORROW OR PAIN
WHEN THE LIGHT OF THE BLAME
TURNED LOVE TO HATE

HOPING SERIOUSLY FLY
THROUGH THE GREEN LANDSCAPES OF MY PEACE OF MIND
I FELL IN MY NEW LIFE
IN THE DARK AND DEEP GRAVE  OF MY INNOCENCE

MY INNOCENCE

MY INNOCENCE OOOHHHH


WALKING THE PATH OF MY PRAYERS
LIKE LIVING THE FLASH OF A FROZEN DREAM
KNOWING IT WAS VERY LATE
WHEN I LOST IN A SECOND MY INNOCENCE

OOHHHHHHHHHH

Î'HHHHHHHHHHH

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GRAVE OF MY INNOCENCE
MY INNOCENCE

My Innocence

I started this track last summer had the beat and sounds I wanted,but never found a synth that worked with it, so I put it to one side...I then decided to have another look recently and came up with the sound you hear now..im pleased with the result in the end..i always had the image of section 9 in my head when creating this track,as I'm a big fan of the tv series...
