Little Steps - Jamie Rhind

This one's for you Santi...
Two months ago our dear and wonderfully talented friend and musician Santi Caballero Mendez was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident in his hometown of Barcelona.  Sam and I had recorded over 50 tunes together yet we had never spoken.  To honor Santi, we have created our tribute Missing You - with 17 different musicians around the world who had recorded with Sam in my music.  The music brings out so many emotions for me, sadness, joy, passion, playfulness, and of course the incredible latin spirit.   Each section of the piece has different musicians, and so many musicians appear and reappear throughout the piece - but often with different supporting casts.  In the end, a moving tribute from so many of Soundcloud's very finest.  Thank you all for joining in as we honor Santi - and thank you Santi...we're Missing You:

Missing You - for Santi Caballero Mendez - with 17 Soundcloud friends

Paul doing his beautiful thing here with this heavy grooving Rock It Today.  I had to jump into the fun with some heavy synth.  Paul's such a fine musician and crosses all boundaries with his many styles.  Check out his wonderful gallery:  https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle

The superb Audric Jankauskas joins me again on our original Progress.  So great to have him here not only adding his expert guitar work but also to add ideas and playing across the entire track with synth, structure and the intricate head.   Audric's deep musicianship is apparent from the start as he works the lines, the harmonies and the angles to keep the listener engaged and always thinking.  His solo work is outstanding, flawless and a wonderful complement to my keyboard work.

Has been too long since Georg and I did something together - here we're back with Blackout, a modal groove.  Love what Georg does with his slinky playing and sound.

It's wonderful to wake up to a beautiful day.

What A Beautiful Morning - Jamie Rhind

Here's a jazz original.  I'm joined by the wonderful Sam Mendez, Georg Boehme, and Al Schulman.   Such a great sound with both the flute and Bari ranges and timbers and Al's showing off on such fine rhythm guitar and soloing.  Sam is no longer with us and never got a chance to hear this.  This smile's for you Sam.

Paploviante's done it again with Glitter, an intriguing super funky dance track that upon closer listening, plays with dissonance because each instrument is playing in a different key.  It's not that noticeable at first cause rhythmically it all works perfectly, yet when I jumped in to add a Rhodes track over the top, it was clear that Paul and them music is playing with your ear.  So instead of finding a completely different key as Paul so successfully did, I jumped in with one of the synth fills and had a little fun.  What a great track again from Paul, the Swiss music machine who creates and navigates across so many styles so well.  Paul's got a nasty bass line going as always and did such a marvelous job with the tight guitar, synth and electro backbeats.  I've had the pleasure of jumping into about 20 of Paul's great tracks and send a big thanks over to the Alps for his continuing creations for others to jump on.  Check out and follow his deep portfolio of work here on Soundcloud while you are tapping your feet to Glitter:

Make the most of your Day Off!  This one's a fun original with wonderful playing and interaction.  I'm joined by Georg Boehme on baritone sax, Stephan Lipinski on guitar and Sergio Parraga on congas.  Stick through the end for some great soulful grooving.  Georg's r&b comes out here with such soulful sounds on the baritone, Pinner's high energy guitar and Sergio's stellar conga beats.
