So excited to have another opportunity to showcase Vivek Patel's magnificent sound.  https://soundcloud.com/vivek-patel   Vivek is a superb trumpet, flugelhorn, banjo and keyboard player - let's make that a superb musician for short - and here he brings a haunting, searching muted sound over an electronic soundscape.   If you haven't followed California's Vivek, please do - you will be blown away by his creative voice.    

I asked Vivek to lead our recent For Miles tribute with so many of my very favorite fusion players here, and his gorgeous playing helped shape this track... https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/for-miles-1 

Vivek's sound on Check My Pulse again brings such a strong Miles sensitivity and understanding, and mirrors it with Chris Botti's beautiful sound.  What a treat, that just gets better and better as the track evolves.  Stick with it.

Thanks as always for your time listening, your comments and your shares.
