This one's for you Santi...
Two months ago our dear and wonderfully talented friend and musician Santi Caballero Mendez was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident in his hometown of Barcelona.  Sam and I had recorded over 50 tunes together yet we had never spoken.  To honor Santi, we have created our tribute Missing You - with 17 different musicians around the world who had recorded with Sam in my music.  The music brings out so many emotions for me, sadness, joy, passion, playfulness, and of course the incredible latin spirit.   Each section of the piece has different musicians, and so many musicians appear and reappear throughout the piece - but often with different supporting casts.  In the end, a moving tribute from so many of Soundcloud's very finest.  Thank you all for joining in as we honor Santi - and thank you Santi...we're Missing You:

Developed this tune with the great help from fine musicians and composers Igor Rajsa and Daniele Petrocchi. Inspired by my love of Brazillian bossa novas, but with an international twist.

A short uptempo Latin jazz groove that is all done on keyboards.  A favorite part for me is where the trumpet lines improvise after the drum and conga solo.  Hope this makes you smile (and dance).  Thanks as always for listening and commenting

Salsa And Chips

This was something special! This track is a collaboration between Daniel van den Berg aka Danarchx on guitars and Jamie Rhind on Organ, strings synth and bass Synth. We aimed for a kind of Deep Durple meets Al Di Meola meets Yngwie kind of thing. It was cool and courageous of Jamie trying on a loud rock/metal piece but the result is... Well you judge!

Drag Racers on the Spanish Highway - Part 1 - Featuring Jamie Rhind

Dan van den Berg steals the show here on a Miles type modal groove, while breaking a high E string in the process.  See if you can find where:)  A special tune for us to toast Miles like this.  From the late 60s on Miles always had one or two super serious fusion guitar players on stage with him - John McLaughlin, Pete Cosey, Mike Stern, Barry Finnerty, John Scofield, Robin Ford and Foley.  He would have dug Dan's wonderful playing.  Thanks for you listens, likes, comments and shares.  The stunning photo was taken by our son Cameron at Machu Pichu, Peru

Here's an original Latin Jazz groove that includes the very fine Spanish flutist Santi-Caballero Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero and German bassist Mirko Borach (Stringburner) https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Wrote this tune with kind of a Santana groove, and think you will love what Santi-Caballero does with his gorgeous flute playing.  I have the trombone patch solos.  Route 251 is named after the classic II-V-I chord changes around which the tune is built.  Please check out and follow both Santi-Caballero and Stringburner's galleries - you will love their musicianship.

As always, thanks for your time listening, your comments, and your shares.

Above The Clouds - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

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....

This one is quite a crazy funky fusion track! A great bass player Mirko Borach aka Stringburner(https://soundcloud.com/stringburner )came up with the idea to cover this track by Los Lobotomys, a fusion group that was formed by Steve Lukather in 1989 with some of his friends and talented players, like David Garfield.
Mirko asked Jamie Rhind (https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind) and me to join on this one to complete the blend. Jamie brought his Miles' oriented synths, I brought my loud and funk rhythm guitars. We reworked the original, added different sounds and flavours to it, turning it into "Entanglement".  All of us have one solo spot around the main theme. Quite interesting is the turn of events with a more quiet interlude after the guitar solo, something we just had to keep in from the original.

Anyways! We hope to entertain you with this cover of a great fusion track and band. Do check them out if you don't know them already! Los Lobotomys...

Here's another original, Get Funky With Me, with grooving jazz guitarist Scott Nelson bringing it home.  We've set the tune up as a soul jazz groove with rhodes and piano, trading off with Hammond B3 organ and Scott's super tasty electric guitar.  Scott is new to SoundCloud, hails from Pennsylvania, and is simply a superb guitarist and musician.  On this track he brings a definitive John Scofield influence, reminding me of Sco's electric work on A Go Go, with organ and keyboard player John Medeski's group.  Check out Scott's growing and wide range of playing on his SoundCloud.  Damn he can play....

Spanish Romance

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:

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.

Que Pasa?

For me, one of the most beautiful bossa novas, the wonderful Gentle Rain.  Luiz Bonfa wrote so many wonderful tunes, including Manha de Carnaval (A Day in the Life of a Fool / Black Orpheus) and Gentle Rain.  At age 11, Bonfa was traveling by train 2.5 hours each way to classical guitar lessons, which were given to him free by his generous teacher, because the family could not afford them.  Over his career, Bonfa worked with such musical luminaries as Quincy Jones, George Benson, Stan Getz and Frank Sinatra.  His most famous music is in the movie Black Orpheus.  My recording here was done all on keyboards.

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

So fortunate to be able to record with these fabulous pros, who also do their thing here on SoundCloud.  Georg is a one man band while also leading a big band in Cologne, and Sergio is a recording artist from Barcelona.

Audric is the consummate musician, a musician's musician, and the top guitar expert in Philadelphia.  So I was again thrilled when he joins me here on our original, It's Not What It Seems.  With a handoff of the framework, Audric went to work - completely inspired - and turned it into this.   Not only the guitar, but additional keys, percussion, structure and ideas.

We're excited to bring some new hot fusion to SoundCloud.  World View includes so many of my favorite players here, coming together to create a sound that take me back to the wonderful epic days of Weather Report, one of the seminal instrumental bands of our lifetime.  Five simply superb musicians and friends helped bring this original to life - Germany's Mirko "Stringburner" Borach on bass, Spain's Sergio Parraga on percussion, the US's Stephan Lipinski on guitar, Spain's Sam Mendez on tenor sax, and Norway's Will Paasche joining me on keyboards.  And oh can they play.  Stringburner lays down such a fantastic, grooving bass line reminiscent of Jaco, Sergio brings his world percussion sound on Congas, Bongos and Timbale, Stephan Lipinski adds his inside out guitar work, Sam Mendez with his always beautiful tenor sax sound, and Will Paasche with the effortless synth solo.  I've jumped on a classic flanged Fender Rhodes sound that Weather Report's Joe Zawinul used so well to help create the syncopation and add to the churn.  We've captured an almost live sound over this modal fusion, letting the cats stretch out and let loose.  Love what everyone does here on this tribute to Weather Report and to their all world sound.
