Jamie Rhind's 2017 Releases

Alphio is an outstanding musician, creating an extensive library that includes percussion, guitar, keyboards and vocals.   These rhythms and harmonies have touched so many people around the world.  Going by the name of Alpha Roots here, Alphio is the ultimate SoundCloud partner, adding a positive spirit to everything he touches.  A man with a heart of gold, a soul of the highest integrity, and a sense of rhythm and style that complements whatever he touches.  Alphio lives in a positive world, where one sees the light while understanding the dark.  For him it is usually about the space that one doesn't play in, that realization that music is as much about the absence of sound as it is about sound...the ying and the yang.  Steeped heavily in reggae and dub, Alphio brings his rhythm, melody, passion and unique musical abilities to so much here.  This collection includes a wide variety of music we have done together so far, often with other musicians, and I am excited to say there is more in the works to be released soon as well.  We hope you enjoy this collection as much as I have...some the most treasured pieces of music I have recorded here on SoundCloud.  There is not a person here on SoundCloud for whom I have greater respect.  A man who stands above it all with spirit, with heart and with soul, and now with bravery.  Thank you Alphio.  You will forever remain in my heart.  Check out Alphio's brilliance on all things percussion, guitar and keyboards - as well as his haunting vocal tracks:  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots

Let's have some fun
We're pumped and ready
So bring it

Let's go!
We've had enough of the mobs
There's chance now that I got everyone

Let's go!
Time's ticking pesky
Let's go!
Got my crew and we ready or not

Let's go!
Stature my sword
Heads fly off

Crush you to dust

Cut my nerves

Megan McCarthy https://soundcloud.com/megsmusicjourney - original piano improvisation "Sadness" (Open Collaboration) == Thank you, Megan, for this wonderful melody!

Igor - orchestration, guitars, production, enhancing the piano sound.

In memory of 224 passengers and the crew of Metrojet Flight 9268 heading from Sharm el-Sheikh to Saint Petersburg and disintegrated by a bomb above the northern Sinai on 31 October 2015. Also in memory of recent Paris events and all the victims of recent "hybrid" wars.

I believe there is an evil power at work in the world deliberately overthrowing stable countries one after another and turning them into bloody chaos. And that chaos spreads over borders further and further. Lives of millions of people means nothing to those who make such schemes.

For a year and a half I have this feeling deep inside. On the surface I can smile, can live normal life, but I feel it. There is no hope for peace. Only grief.

Grief.There is no hope for peace. (Contemplation over Megan McCarthy's piano piece)

Here's an original reggae tune brought to life by three very fine musicians, Alpha Roots on guitar, Julien Apelian on keyboards and piano and Ian Greaves on vocals.  Alphio is so deeply rooted in serious reggae, and brought his great understanding and love to his riddim guitar work.  Julien as always has contributed sweet playing and ideas with two keyboard tracks and also the two fine synth solos.  And Milwaukee's Ian Greaves's sweet lyrics and vocals tell the story.    

Love how these guys each contribute to the overall sound and conception.

Who Knows (Protoje - Chronixx BOOTLEG) FREE DL

Prince was a contemporary, who influenced music for almost 35 years, blending funk, soul, rock, pop and more, with creativity and musical ability across all instruments that has rarely been seen.  When Alphio (Alpha Roots) created this super funky track last week to honor the passing of Prince, I asked him if I could join him on a Part II.  Graciously, Alphio agreed and so I added a couple of synth lines to further spice it up a little.  The fantastic drum and congas and guitar lines are Alphio, and I have added the trumpet and low synth, following Alphio's beautiful wah guitar playing.  

If you aren't following Alpha Roots, please make the effort to check out his extensive collection of originals and collaborations:   he is a reggae master, and a very fine percussion player, guitarist and expressive vocalist - while even throwing down some nice keys too:  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots

Jam For Prince II - a Tribute to Prince / Alpha Roots with Jamie Rhind

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:

Alpha Roots - djembe  Stuttgart, Germany  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots
Rikard From - Hammond B3 organ  Umea, Sweden  https://soundcloud.com/rikard-from
Stephen "Pinner" Lipinski - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/pinner
Scott Nelson - guitar  Pennsylvania, USA  https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064
Marco Oversteegen - guitar  Almere, Netherlands  https://soundcloud.com/marco-oversteegen
Justin Valente  - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente
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.

What a great group of players on Infinity.  Scott Nelson is at the top of his game on guitar, setting the head and building a great story.  He's a musical master and we are so happy once again to have him leading.  Alphio on djembe is a second master, one who plays many instruments with ease and taste, and so much soul.  And creating the deep funk fusion bass lines again is Mirko "Stringburner" Borach.  These guys are all among my very favorites.  We hope you enjoy Infinity.   The photo is of the magnificent Northern Lights above Lofoten, Norway.

The 6th Stage:

Sitting very quiet in the courtyard cage
Listen to the sound of the black Crow's wings
Cutting through the silence of the morning rage
We've been thinking about the 6th stage staring at a blank page
When we gonna change this?
When we gonna stand up to this?
Burn one down to fight this
Burn one down to show your love....
We woke up from a cold dream
It cut deep like a cold stream
I don't wanna go back anyway
When we gonna change this?
When we gonna stand up to this?
Burn one down to fight this
We've been thinking about the 6th stage staring at a blank page
Burn one down to fight this
Burn one down to remember us

We are going to smoke in the garden
We are going to dig up our past

Listen to the sound of the black Crow's wings

Here's some reggae I just created that is a tribute to our great SoundCloud friend and artist Alpha Roots.  Alphio isn't well at all, but is doing everything he can to keep it positive and his spirits high.  I wanted Alphio to join me here but he just wasn't able to get the energy up but loved the tune.  Here's to you Alphio, a little sand between your toes and a gentle island breeze behind your back.  Please stop by Alphio's SC page, listen to some of his gentle and inspiring music, and send him some love.  Big love Alphio!  One Love.  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots

Sometimes it is better to just listen and think.  Some feel good gospel for you here with such an impressive lineup.  Al Schulman starts things with his beautiful swinging guitar, Scott Nelson is next with more soul and passion, and then back to Al to finish.  Mirko Borach again anchors such a fine bass line and the superb Johnny Pugh jumps in with big time harp.  I'm having a blast with the keyboards here.
