BARBARA MORRISON
I Love You, Yes I Do
Savant Records SCD 2136
Barbara Morrison, vocals
With Houston Person, tenor saxophone
Stuart Elster, piano • Richard Simon, bass • Lee Spath, drums

Track Listing: Save Your Love For Me • Canadian Sunset • I Had a Talk With My Man Last Night • Trust in Me • I Didn't Know What Time It Was • Who Can I Turn To? • If It's the Last Thing I Do • Black Eyed Blues • I Love You, Yes I Do • And I Love Him • For the Love of You • Blow Top Blues

Barbara Morrison has been featured on over 20 recordings choosing her repertoire from a wide array of genres from traditional jazz and blues to gospel and pop. Her powerful voice, with its two-and-a-half-octave range, allows Ms. Morrison to belt out down-home, soul-stirring blues in a manner which places her firmly in the tradition of Etta Jones, Helen Humes, Irene Reid, and Dinah Washington. Her impassioned renditions of favorite torch songs reveal a consummate musicianship and a firm grasp of a song’s deepest meaning. Over the years, Ms. Morrison has performed with legends such as Gerald Wilson, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, James Moody, Ron Carter, Etta James, Esther Phillips, Jimmy Smith, Dr. John, Kenny Burrell, Terence Blanchard, Joe Sample, Cedar Walton, Tony Bennett, and Keb’ Mo. On “I Love You, Yes I Do,” Ms. Morrison is once again partnered by the soulful tenor saxophone of Houston Person who brings his own unique brand of bluesy exuberance to the proceedings.

Driving Force (Instrumental)

This is a rough mix of the upcoming EP I'm working on.

Mosh Rap - I hate the world - Suicide & Depression - Premix

Looking for feedback. Still needs a second verse and a heavy hook at the end, but I thought I'd see what kind of initial response I get.

You, me, we’re all the same
Just another monkey, with another name

Hey! Some men just want to help it turn
Hey! Some men just want to watch it burn

Chug some gin, grab my keys, drive down the bike lane

Hey man…watch out for the headlights
Hey man…watch out for the headlights

Headlights *Headlights*
Headlights *Headlights*
Headlights 
Watch out for the headlights

You, me, we’re all the same
Just another monkey, with another name

Hey! Some men just want to help it turn
Hey! Some men just want to watch it burn

What's the point, all these humans have me filled with doubt
Grab my gun, load it up, stick it in my mouth

Hey man…watch out for the headlights
Hey man…watch out for the headlights

Headlights *Headlights*
Headlights *Headlights*

Watch out for the headlights

Nothing will last forever
Not even the stars in the sky
Everyone knows your pleasure 
Not even you can deny
Leaning on your hesitation 
Born and bred in desperation 
Where the ashes burn

Everyday is a fight
Your souls an illuminating light
You can not deceive your own mind
When it knows all the truths you left behind
Where the ashes still burn

Would you stand here and fight if you could 
Till what you believe is understood
You don’t know a man for just his words
Like writing a check no one deserves 
 
I hide my castles in the earth 
I’ve prayed forgiveness since my birth
But the ashes still burn 

Do you pray to a god in the sky 
Look around you can’t deny
The birds and the leaves in all the trees
Doing everything to survive
But the Ashes still burn

Twisting circles try to learn
I can not escape the things I yearn
I can not seem to conquer time
The ashes I brought you could be mine

I hide my castles in the earth 
I’ve prayed forgiveness since my birth
But the ashes still burn

Ashes

Walked across the dark room
and looked across the bar
I saw a gifted patron
and asked him where we are
the chap just down the bar from me
he's drinking from a jar
and the children nod off tonight
in the back seat of my car

Mr. Bartender can you tell me what is wrong
all I ever knew is how to write this crazy song
won't you put this tin crown on my head
and nail my feet firmly to the ground
down firmly to the ground
down firmly to the ground

Live life on purpose..

An after Christmas Freudian analysis that some people never grow up -  the toys simply become bigger and more expensive! ;)

I was sent a bass phrase with a nice reggae beat, a little keyboard to punctuate the rhythm, and a few other sounds. The vibe was catchy, and melody and lyrics started flowing. A little of this and a little of that, rounded out with an editing process that ended up with this mix.

The message is a simple observation that all the "No!" messages of childhood, may lead to something later in life. We all need toys, but when you grow up (if you grow up), the kinds of things that attract us may be...a little different.

Notes:
Black Park: all the electronica and tambourines in the backing track, harmony vocals in the chorus, all the cutting and pasting of my mic'd parts, mixing and production.
Me: Guitars (mic'd Norman acoustic with some f/x), Lyrics (perhaps I was that frustrated youth?:) and vocals - additional fun utterances as well as the lead vocal.

Comments always appreciated. 

Big Boy Toys
Music: Black Park Music
Lyrics:Terry Wigmore

Oh, when I was a boy I had to have my toys.
Had to have the things that I could put my hands on
Had to touch this and I had to touch that,
And I was always gettin' my little hands slapped.

Don't touch this!
Don't touch that!
Don't touch this!
Don't touch that toy!
Don't touch this!
Don't grab that!
Don't have this Toy, Toy Toys!
Gotta have my toys,
Big Boy Toys,
Gotta have those toys.

(instrumental)

Oh, when I grew up older,
I grew a little bolder,
Put my hands on things I should have known were over,
Over-the-top,
I grabbed a little of this and touched a little of that
Those toys!
Hmmm, those....toys ;)
hmmm mmm Can't have this!
Hmmmm Can't touch that!
Oh those toys, toys, toys!
Hmmm Big Boy Toys
Gotta have my toys
Big Boy toys,
Gotta have those toys.

Big Boy Toys
Gotta have my Toys!
Big Boy Toys,
Gotta have my toys!

(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that!
(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that! Toys!

(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that!
(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that! Toys!

(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that!
(Don't) Touch this!
(Don't) Touch that! Toys!

25. "Mona" -- Bo Diddley (2:20:49)
26. Jam *good night" (2:30:08)

This one is a real gem. Another early performance sourced from a reel-to-reel tape dated March 2, 1974. Like the previous post this was also recorded at the Kent Kove though what makes this different is that other than Bob Kidney all the players are different than on the recording we posted earlier. What makes this recording signifigant is that it is the earliest (known) recording featuring Jack Kidney! At this point he'd been in the band for about a year and was probably well over 100 performances in with them when this recording was made. All of the harmonica you hear in this would be coming from Jack plus he adds some backing vocals to various tracks here. It's likely the extra saxes you hear in this are coming from Jack as well.

This is the version of The Numbers Band that most people remember from this era and the version of the Numbers Band that exists today is directly rooted in this lineup. What is especially great about this recording is how long it is. I can't say for sure but you might be hearing an entire night's worth of music because this recording clocks in at over 2 1/2 hours. The setlist is CLASSIC Numbers Band from this era --- super heavy on the Bo Diddley and the deep blues explorations. There's a couple of hints at changes to come though. There's a really early version of "The Animal Speaks" on here which sticks out in the set because it's so different from everything else and there is also another new song called "Drive" that I don't think survived outside of this era.

If this date is to be believed (March 2, 1974) then it would mean that this would be in the brief period that Terry Hynde was out of the band -- though he was working the door at The Kove during nearly all of these performances. So you may not hear Terry in the mix but know that he's probably in the room.

Toujours à la recherche de sons et de mélodies originales, mon ami Codebo a lancé ce vieux riff de guitare sur l'autoradio de sa bagnole.
Je connaissais pas du tout, mais instantanément je me suis jurée de remixer cette mélodie de guitare vraiment géniale. 
En ajoutant des pizzis une Boa Bass et un peu d'exotisme ...
J'en profite un peu, mes parents gardent Laura pour les fêtes :)))
Ensuite j'ai fait écouter à mon papa qui connaissait déjà ... et qui m'a seulement dit que je ne respectais rien :(((
Mais papa ! c'est un mix ! juste un mix ! :)

En gros, les participants :
Félix Tiephaine :  le riff de guitare !(connais pas le titre du morceau) le gars est Français.
indeep : last night the dj ...
unknows vocal female ...
Mon ami roshen Anderson (usa) : incredible
Oui, avec ça on ira pas loin ! :) mais bon, j'ai puisé un peu dans les samples les yeux fermés :)
Merveilleuse année à tous ! Love you all !

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!

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

Reflection

Suíte Mulata

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

2 AM the city lights my room
I'm lying floored inside the gloom
Melodies of songs pulling at my strings
Pick up the phone nostalgia rings

We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days

Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind


Can someone tell me will it disappear
This foreign place that I hold dear
If I go and visit it again
Will sunshine I imagined turn to rain

We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days

Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind


We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days

Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind

Nostalgia Rings

On February 8th, pianist, producer and composer  Mark de Clive-Lowe  will release his new album  Heritage  via Ropeadope. For the half-Japanese half-New Zealander who calls Los Angeles home,  Heritage  is a deeply personal exploration of de Clive-Lowe’s ancestry and cultural roots. “ Heritage  is the idea of transmitting from the past to the future - knowing more about who we are and where we’re going by understanding where we come from,” he says. “It’s about identity and one’s place in the world.”

“I was raised bi-culturally and as time goes on, the more I appreciate how much I owe to my roots,” de Clive-Lowe continues. “Japan is my spiritual and ancestral home - the connection I feel there is so visceral and has shaped much of my life, largely without me even being fully aware of its influence. This music is me openly embracing and interpreting what Japan means, feels like and sounds like to me.” De Clive-Lowe is somewhat of a musical chameleon - as comfortable on the grand piano in a jazz club as he is multi-tasking electronics and live beats for a dancefloor. Like his peers Kamasi Washington, Makaya McCraven and Robert Glasper, de Clive-Lowe isn’t content to simply play the jazz lane and he purposefully reaches across a broad palette of genres and influences to create something quite unlike anything else.

“I grew up on a mix of jazz, hip-hop and electronic music, so there’s always all these different sounds in my head,” de Clive-Lowe explains. “Some sounds can be expressed on conventional instruments, some need machines and I’ve developed a hybrid setup to facilitate all of that when I perform. Adding my own cultural story - allowing myself to reflect on and really show my ancestry and roots - feels like I’ve found the missing piece to my own identity and artistry.”

The music reflects his own experiences in Japan (“Memories of Nanzenji” recollecting his visit to the historic Kyoto temple and gardens), the samurai code (“Bushidō” - “The Way of the Warrior”), childhood folk songs (“Akatombo” - an arrangement of a traditional melody as ubiquitous to Japanese people as Twinkle Twinkle is in the west), and more.

Heritage  was recorded live at LA’s Blue Whale jazz club over three nights, as well as one day in a North Hollywood studio. Exactly where the live recording stops and the studio recording starts is all but impossible to tell, with de Clive-Lowe editing the material to purposely blur that line. “The way I incorporate technology is always live - capturing and manipulating moments as they happen in real time - so this record was never about post-production, how you hear it on the album is how it happens live on stage.”

De Clive-Lowe will play  Heritage l ive on  January 12th at SOB’s in Manhattan for Winter Jazzfest , and on  February 8th and 9th at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles. Heritage  is the first in a two part project.  Heritage II  will be unveiled in April 2019.
