KEEP EVOLVING  (Happy New Earth - Part 2)

Created this tune in the style of a favorite guitarist Jeff Beck, whose music with Jan Hammer has been a leading influence on my synth and keyboard playing.  All done with keyboards here....

Beck Home Again

What fun pulling this together with three serious musicians.  You probably know Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente's awesome blues oriented guitars, and they stretch out here on this funk / soul / fusion groove.  Burning it up they are.  And joining us on Alto Sax is recording artist Matt Criscuolo.  Look for him at mattcriscuolo.com.  These guys just play their ass off here.  Started with an internet fusion loop, I added many keyboard lines to funk it up to the max, and we added these pros.  Joe takes the opening solos for the first four minutes, Justin follows, and we finish with all the guys trading off.  So much energy.  Positive energy here.  Put this on and relax.  Hope you enjoy the entire tune - an extended play jam.  Damn this is burning.... Thanks for listening.  The guys would love your thoughts....

Funk And Burn - With Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente guitars and Matt Criscuolo alto sax

Created this tune to combine elements of rock and fusion, and was looking to set up soloing similar to what John McLaughlin and Jeff Beck did with Jan Hammer.   Norway's superb fusion guitarist, composer and recording artist Ronny Heimdal is featured, and just tears it up.  Into pieces.  Little pieces.  Check out his gallery here on SoundCloud:

Hope you enjoy our music.  Thanks so much Ronny:)

Busting Out - with Ronny Heimdal / guitar

Another fun one with Scotland's outstanding guitarist and master chef Ian Tait.  Ian once again brings it home with his signature funky solo and rhythm playing that matches so well with my jazz fusion roots.  Sure you'll enjoy this groove and tune I wrote, and be sure to check out Ian's gallery here too.  He cooks!

Goin' Home - with Ian Tait / guitar

Can't take too much credit for this one, but loved the funky backing track and added an extended organ solo over the top.  Has a great groove and thought I'd have some fun with it.  Enjoy!

Fresh Funk

So much fun to have musicians all over the world play together, and this jam includes three of my very favorite guitarists and musicians here on SoundCloud...Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente.  These guys can all light up a stage, and graciously came together for this funky collaboration.  If you aren't following them all you should be - you'll be getting fresh tracks almost every day from each.  Tom and Justin are both from the US (Austin and NYC), and Ian hails from Edinburgh, Scotland.   For our Summer Funk Jam here, we started with a very funky internet backing track, allowing everyone to dig in and do their thing.  You'll recognize each of the guys' styles if you've been listening to their galleries, and together it makes for some serious Summer Funk.  Thanks guys for all the ongoing support - each of you help bring out the best in SoundCloud.  Make that SoundCloud FUNk.  Let us know what you think - it is always inspiring to get feedback on our playing:

Summer Fun(k) Jam - collab with Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente / guitars

Thought I'd throw up a funky track with many syncopated layers.  I started with an internet guitar backing track and as the tune progressed, a John Scofield Uberjam  / a GoGo vibe came out - without John's unreal guitar playing over the top.  Check out John's two Uberjam and a GoGo albums if you are digging this track.  Check em out even if you're not too! The photo is of a famous storyteller in NY who was hanging out in Washington Square Park.  Loved his smile.  Thanks as always for listening and for your comments as well.

Funk You Up  - a Tribute to John Scofield

It's Friday so why not throw up some funk!  There is no one deeper than Herbie Hancock, so I created this funky tune as a tribute to Herbie.  Such an important influence he was across so many genres.  Herbie is the consummate musician.  A fellow native of Chicago, Herbie soloed with the Chicago Symphony at around age 12, started producing his own albums on Blue Note before he was 20, joined the legendary Miles Davis quintet in '64, and brought electronic keyboards with the Rhodes to Miles with the famous Miles Smiles album, then pioneering electronic keyboards in the late 60s with In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew.  Miles had an album Get on Up With It, which is where I took the name from - a common phrase back in the late 60s and 70s..that James Brown of course used with his funky Sex Machine hit.  In addition to his incredible influence with Miles, Herbie left him around '72 to form the Headhunters, which then created what still is the best selling "jazz" album of all time - with Chameleon and so many other classics.  Herbie has meant so much to me that we named our first Beagle Herbie Hancock.  And was Herbie amused when I met him at a party and told him that.  Anyway, here's Get on Up.  I've used a real nice backing track with Swiss guitarist Hanspeter Kruesi https://soundcloud.com/music-pictures to set the groove and then added a number of keyboard and Miles like muted trumpet lines to bring it to life.  Get on Up!

Yellowjackets - Timeline

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...

Between Rock And A Hard Place

A big shout out to my many friends and followers on SoundCloud.  Today marks 100,000 listens for me since I joined, and it has been a special treat to have gotten to know so many from all over the world so well, to really dig into and dig your personal playing and music, to have had the opportunity to record and perform with superb musicians, to learn from you and to greatly improve and expand my abilities on keyboard and with recording.  To commemorate this milestone I have created a funk fusion tune that is inspired by several of my favorite musicians - Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, and Herbie Hancock.  These creative musicians were often playing around with modal funk grooves, were pioneers of keyboards in their bands, and created ambiguity in their music between the minor and major third, as you here here.  They expanded boundaries, created genres of music, combined virtuosity with groove and space, and were all great listeners.

Thanks for all the love over the last year !!!!  So many have taken a substantial amount of time to listen to the music I have created and often with others, and so regularly to comment and to share their thoughts and support - often in a second language for them.   

Thank you SoundCloud friends...let's keep the music flowing and the beat grooving...together!

Back with a grooving original funk tune with the fabulous Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitar.   Pinner is on fire here once again with his driving wah rhythm playing and comes at us with such a great solo as well, before I follow up with that signature Hammond Organ sound.

Piano Story

In Japan, the rainy season lasts from the beginning of June to mid-July. When I was young I didn’t like the rainy season at all. But now in my fifties, I like rain if it’s not too heavy. It often comforts and soothes me.

A Rainy Night

In July, I enjoyed my summer holidays in Rangiroa Island. What a refreshment to swim with dolphins and watch the beautiful sunset at the beach! And how sad to come back and face daily works again:)
I played this song remembering tropical atmosphere.
Godin guitar always helps me compose.

This is my first go at smooth jazz (not The Hollies :) And Jamie was so kind to help me in this journey with his amazing sound.

Come away with me
Leave your fears behind
There’s so much to see
And so much to find
We could reach the stars
Smiling up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love

If you care to find
If you dare to see
Leave your fears behind
Come along with me
We could chase the clouds
Running up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love

All The World Is Love

Funk Yeah!

Calaminus is back with a super funky collaboration, Catch the Drift.   Such a fine composition from the SC World Funkmaster, Jorg Calaminus.  He's done so much here and then listen to his fantastic piano/synth solo.  Over the course of 5 minutes, Jorg takes us from funk to some Hawaiian Island groove, back to the funk, to fusion, to 70's rock, and then back to the funk.  Something like that.  Maybe more.  Jorg's for years been one of the Cloud's finest creators, merging Funk, World, Fusion and Jazz.  With Jorg, rhythm and syncopation drive his music.  And taste.  There's always a surprise around the turns, and lots of layers.  Heavy music and a pleasure to be releasing this together. So great to have him back with his wonderful grooves.

Enjoy this moody autumnal track from the newly released album "Where Giants Roam The Earth"!

The last couple of weeks have been quite intense. We had an amazing trip to Berlin where I got the chance to perform on the stage of Berlin Philharmonie and meet with many extraordinary pianists from Enlightened Piano Radio. It was a wonderful surprise and a honor to receive "Best Solo Piano" Award for my previous album "Yet Another Love Story". And then, the next morning right after coming back from the trip, Arty and I had an interview with a local newspaper, talking about the new album "Where Giants Roam The Earth".

I still have a dozen CDs (out of 100) and a couple of sheet music books (both perfect and spiral binding) on my hands that I will personally sign for you if you order via BandCamp. Thank you very much for your support! Any proceeds from album sales go back into music  - we got some plans already for the next musical project that will take about a year to complete.

https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/track/i-dont-owe-ya-deep-remix

DeeP. got the vocals stems to "I Don't Owe Ya" from Bitzone and surprised me with this ultra fresh remix. It was a real honor and surprise that he would do this. 

DeeP. also worked with Bitzone and Stone Catcherye  to do this dope electro funk remix of "Deeper" 

https://soundcloud.com/bitzone/deeper

Huge thanks to DeeP. for initiating these projects. 

I think for 2019 I want to focus on some albums with a more consistent sound. I think it would be really cool to work with Bitzone and DeeP., along with some additional other collaborators on full album of similar tracks. 

Happy New Year 2019 all! I wish you all lots of good health, fine community, mega prosperity, huge success, good times, and awesome music!

Couch King: Lyrics and Vocals

Lyrics: 

I’m sick of this world
I’m quick to unfurl
I light up the wick
And picture myself 
In the underworld

There’s many ways to die 
And I give ‘em a try
Each time that I lie
And close up my eyes 
Kapow 
Bak bak

Nobody cares
No one hears my prayers 
All I bear is unfair
I swear that I’ll tear
Your hair out if you speak 
Shut the fuck up

It ain’t just my fault
How I’m under assault 
Blaming is your default 
You pour salt on mistakes 
To try and validate
Your perceived superiority

A piece of advice
And you move on with you life 
I don’t owe ya
A thanks
I don’t owe ya

Get me to see 
My responsibility 
I don’t owe ya
A sorry
I don’t owe ya

This is my demise
Don’t tell me bout my life 
I don’t care if you think 
That you care
I’m aware
That I’m a fuck up

This is how my dream dies 
Don’t tell me to realize 
Who I am 
Cause you think that I am
Someone
That’s not a fuck up

Cause I am fuck up just a fuck up
I am fuck up
A real fuck

Telling me to shut up 
Always telling me to shut up
