Breaking The Bank - Mirko Borach / Lou Taverna / Jamie Rhind

Sending out the greatest strength to our friends of Ukraine.  Continue to share the faith that Democracy and freedom will prevail.  We are with YOU.  And special thoughts to our exceptional Ukranian SC friend and master composer and keyboard player Syntalita, who has inspired so many for years with her impeccable performances and creativity:  https://soundcloud.com/syntaleta

Demokratiya -демократія

The incredible bravery and will of the Ukranians continues to inspire the world

Bravery - Jamie Rhind

The horrific situation in Ukraine is on everyone's mind - Gathered to tell our story here are great friends and musicians who bring their hearts to the unfolding situation. Sennid Simon's super soulful lyrics and groove are so welcoming. Our two exceptional guitarists - Stephan Lipinski and Lou Taverna - alternate a total of 6 not to be missed burning solos across the funk, Georg Boehme's tight baritone sax adds glue with both funky inside and outside playing and Sergio Parraga's exciting congas and lead quinto drive it all forward and add to the tension. Lou's added some additional rhythm and harmony guitar parts for even more color.
Just doing our musical thing for Ukraine and freedom...

Funk The War - Sennid Simon / Stephan Lipinski / Lou Taverna / Sergio Parraga / Jamie Rhind

Don't You Know - Jamie Rhind

Soul jazz to soothe the soul.  The Fortitude of the Ukranians is remarkable.  Freedom reigns

Fortitude - for Ukraine

I released Demokratiya For Ukraine about a month ago and had more to say about the atrocities of this unnecessary and illegal war.  The Hammond B3 can convey so much emotion and soul - here's another blow over it

How much fun is grooving with Pinner and Daniele?  We've got it going on some original soul jazz ... Don't Sell Your Soul.
