Yeah Jamie!!! Rock on man!!! Nice guitar ;-)

A collection of the many tunes that world class Ohio blues axeman Joe Bongiovanni  https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni and I have recorded together on SoundCloud.  Joe is one of the most soulful guitar players I have ever ever heard - anywhere - and he brings that inner passion and sensitivity to every recording.  His tone, his phrasing and his interpretation are envious.  In fact, for the second year in a row, Joe has earned a finals spot playing in the World Championship of Blues Guitar in Memphis, Tennessee.  Best of luck there Joe.  Wish I could be with you there.

Thanks for being here to soothe the Soul, Joe.  Also included in this collection is the exceptional blues guitarist Justin Valente https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente who we team up with on the super funky Funk and Burn.  Check out their wonderful SoundCloud galleries:

Blues for ross by Joe bongiovanni and Jamie rhind

Loved playing this slow blues with Joe.  He's a real master.  Enjoy the smooth sounds...

I Got The Blues - with Joe Bongiovanni / guitar

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....

Back To Wonderland

This started with a very beautiful piano piece by Tom, then advanced by Jussi’s great electric guitar lead. I added an imagined lyric about someone not being able to commit to a relationship and the song was completed by Boon’s excellent acoustic guitar work. Thanks to all for their wonderful contributions. Thanks everyone for giving this a listen. Much appreciated by us all. 

Desamor by Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki and Mark J Bennett

There’s an absence in my life, 
Perhaps of my own device. 
An awkward independence, 
Rendered me unable to share,
 My life with any other. 
Desamor, Desamor

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor 
An awkward independence,
 Left me unable to share.
 Desamor, Desamor
 Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
Forbidding myself that joy.

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor

Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
 Forbidding myself that joy.
 Desamor, Desamor

DANCING WITH THE UNKNOWN

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, synth and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – custom five string fretless bass and PRS SE semi-hollwbody electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Sunnybeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric wah guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering
 
This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though. 
  Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collecitive's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar. 
  It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it!  
  Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us. 
  This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with here we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark
Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives 
Myth mystery scanned

The Soughing Wind - Feat.Oddrun Eikli

It's been too long since Ohio bluesman Joe Bongiovanni and I recorded a tune together, so I wrote this one with Joe's soulful and lyrical playing in mind.  Joe has several times been a finalist at the World Championship of Blues Guitar, and it sure shows in his beautiful playing.  This is our 13th tune together, and I'm really proud of what we have recorded.  Check out Joe's wonderful gallery at https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni

The photo is one of my favorite sunsets I have ever shot, in beautiful East Hampton, NY.  

And for those interested, I have just released Barcelona and I Believe, 2 CDs of my own music and a few jazz standards.   SoundCloud's Dan van den Berg and Al Schulman wrote the liner notes for them.  Here's a link if you are interested in checking them out - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/barcelona/id1071251143
