When Zurich's Paul Racle says GO GO ..... I Go Go right to my Hammond B3 sound to collaborate.  Paul threw this Stevie Ray Vaughn type track up for people to join in, allowing me the great pleasure to jump in once again.  Got that great Jimmy McGriff organ sound going on the keys for this.  Great blues track Paul  - sweet playing on everything!  

Check out Paul's three SoundCloud galleries.  They are some of the most inclusive and diverse musically on SC:

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

-Thank you so much for listening! 🫶

I Am Here To Learn

lyrics

Sometimes I like to be to myself
In the quiet with the fire on the cave walls
To myself
Oh to myself
To myself
To myself

Just me looking at me
Just me hearing me breathe
To myself
My own self
To myself
My own self

Remember you entertain yourself
My own self
To myself
Oh to myself
Remember you only child

To Myself

Oh dear.

We really haven't done very well with what we were gifted. 
 
Have we?

In any sense, under any interpretation, through any lens, via any belief system, under any political prism, upon any philosophical foundation, we have utterly corrupted the entirety of the social, cultural, spiritual, environmental and biological ecosystem that we touch, and which defines and sustains what we understand as "life" on our home planet.

And on every front, by all metrics, under any assessment - empirical, analytical, theoretical, logical, it gets progressively worse.

Every day.

Oh dear.

Deep Inside

When your broken moral compass assaults his eternal soul
When folk apportion token fault upon what little faith I hold
When humanity has knifed itself, and hope bleeds from infernal holes
When night's arrival, day concedes, its warmth displaced by bitter cold

When evolution's vanities lie buried deep in fossil earth
When pagan rite insanities, render cheap, their measly worth
When any good God's lessons die 'neath cloven crackled mirth
When children' hearts bear tender fear from the very instance of their birth

When the simplest of kindnesses stands blatantly denied
When respect for fellow mortal lands gutter-bound, cast aside
When the spyglass is inverted to inspect what’s deep inside
When the court of civil fortitude finds us guilty as described

When the very least of all is but the best that can be done 
When portends toss and nightmares turn, and grace is on the run
When you, my friend must burn your shame, face the shadows of our sun
Then all is lost, accept the blame, for hell on earth has just begun.

Deep Inside .....with Seagull and David Dunham

this music was inspired by (obvious) sources - 
Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, National Health, Yes and Änglagård

1~
In a world of noise, we shape the sound
Every word, is a twist, a turn around
Echoes dance in electric threads
Jazz meets rock, where the current spreads

What stories do we weave tonight?
In the rhythm, let’s take flight.

2~
It's a curious thought, a fleeting glance
The world goes fast, I want to dance
An echo of dreams, a timeless trance
Don't you feel this chance?

We’re dancing shadows under neon lights
In this vibrant world, we chase the heights.

3~
In a world where chaos reigns, I speak,
Words stumble like shadows, yet I seek,
The rhythms of life, in jazz and rock,
Echo truths, ticking like a clock.

So tell me the story, let it unfold,
In eclectic whispers, let the truth be told.

4~
In the twilight, echoes of a tale unfurl
Words weave like shadows in this swirling world
Byte-sized thoughts dance on the edge of time
A canvas painted with rhythm, so sublime

Listen close, a story speaks anew
In the silence, find the truth of you

5~
Whispers sing as they play
t'was of that day, lost in notes that sway - that sway
Voices supple as they sing
Dreams will run away like children's shadows play
Let the night embrace....embrace
All the hearts in space...in space

6~
In a world so vast voices blend and shimmer
with echoes of the past
feel the light grow dimmer

Words float like whispers
IN THE TWILIGHTS EMBRACE !

2015 był specyficznym rokiem, który spędziłem na przemian w Poznaniu i w Londynie. Nagrywałem studyjnie (jak słychać w "Giants Under the Sun"), akustycznie nad brzegiem morza ("Warming Up By the Sea", "Carefree Lovers"), z pośpiesznie zebranym duetem Luna Lenina Band ("Foxtrot Hearts", "The Unfinished Life"), eksperymentowałem także z dźwiękiem jak prezentuje to "Oh Ho" i wczesna wersja "Moroz", w wersji ukończonej na tegorocznej płycie "Eimi" dla wytwórni Snow in Water Records. 

Ta historia dźwiękowa zawiera też żarciki muzyczne ("Peyote Coyote", "Świt", "Adam, Your Alcoholic Ramblings"), a także alternatywny miks piosenki "C.O.K.E." pochodzącej z płyty "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer", którą wydałem na CD-R w 2014 roku jako A.J. Kaufmann.

Ta historia dźwiękowa to podróż przez Londyn i Poznań 2015, wzbogacony poznaniem legendarnych muzyków Amon Duul II i skromnym pomysłem założenia własnej komuny artystycznej. Opowiadam historię przerywaną, rwaną i postrzępioną, ponieważ tak wyglądało moje fizyczne przemieszczanie się w czasie i przestrzeni tamtego roku.

Powinniście drodzy słuchacze mieć możliwość zajrzeć do mojej głowy, serca, i portfela słuchając tej skromnej selekcji archiwaliów 2015. Miłego słuchania.

***

2015 was a specific year that I spent alternately in Poznań and London. I recorded in the studio (as you can hear in "Giants Under the Sun"), acoustically on the seafront ("Warming Up By the Sea", "Carefree Lovers"), with the duo Luna Lenina Band ("Foxtrot Hearts", "The Unfinished Life"), I also experimented with sound as" Oh Ho "and the early version of" Moroz "present, in the version completed on this year's" Eimi "for Snow in Water Records.

This sound story also contains musical jokes ("Peyote Coyote", "Dawn", "Adam, Your Alcoholic Ramblings"), as well as an alternative mix of the song "C.O.K.E." coming from the album "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer", which I released on CD-R in 2014 as A.J. Kaufmann.

This sound story is a journey through London and Poznań 2015, enriched by getting to know the legendary musicians Amon Duul II and a modest idea of establishing my own artistic commune. I tell the story intermittently, torn and frayed because that was how my physical movement in time and space that year looked like. 

Dear listeners, you should be able to look into my head, heart, and portfolio, listening to this modest selection of 2015 archives. Enjoy listening.

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

Once in a Life Time feat. 2nick8 & (Paploviante-E Bass)

'The Minstrel and the Jester' Just a title that popped into my head. This is where it went.

My Drouthy Cronie

Former classical clarinet and piano player.  Unless noted, my music on SoundCloud was composed, recorded and performed using only keyboards.  An avid photographer.  Many covers here are my shots.  To see my photography look for Herbiejazz on Instagram or search for Herbiejazz on Google.  And a big thumbs up to SoundCloud and the SoundCloud community, and so many friends who have joined me to create.  Thank you all.
