Mysteries Of The Blim Part 3 (With IPG1  & Jamie Rhind)

It's more than a mess here.  Not only do we have almost 4,000 people a day dying from COVID here because of our current administration, but now we have TRUMP supporters storming our Capital and rioting, and all incentivized by you know who.

Red, White & Blues

Time to bring things together.  Sam Mendez's beautiful soprano sax playing here says it all.
Follow Sam's great collection music, including his recent Bach flute Sonata.

As we move into 2021, best of health to all.  We have a fabulous group joining this original fusion tune, I'm Peached.  Takes significance here in the US and around the world.  We hope you enjoy the music.  On bass the always fired up Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Calaminus https://soundcloud.com/calaminus is back adding his creative synth work.  Two serious fusion guitarists join the fun -  Pinner https://soundcloud.com/pinner opens with his right rhythm guitar, Vlad Glavchovski https://soundcloud.com/vlad-glavchovski has the wild opening solo, followed by Pinner's great sound and impressive playing.  Jahn Neu plays the haunting electric trumpet throughout the recording.

The exceptional Michael-Louis Smith joins me on guitar on our fusion original WTF.  What a crazy 2021 we are already having here in the US, and our edgy music represents a little of the tension we are all feeling.  Mike's such a wonderful person and recording artist, and leads his killer jazz ensemble Brooklyn Circle:  http://www.mlsmusic.com

We'll get through this tension - somehow

WTF - Michael-Louis Smith / Jamie Rhind

Some heavy fusion for some heavy times...
Audric is the consummate musician, a musician's musician, and the top guitar expert in Philadelphia.  So I was again thrilled when he joins me here on our original, It's Not What It Seems.  With a handoff of the framework, Audric went to work - completely inspired - and turned it into this.   Not only the guitar, but additional keys, percussion, structure and ideas.   There's a lot to listen to here - from the spectacular initial guitar work to the harmonic structure and lines.  
And check out Audric's impressive galleries:

Slippin and Slidin - Mirko Borach / Stephan Lipinski / Sam Mendez / Jamie Rhind

A cool new recording with Stringburner and Santi-Cabillero - we're calling it A Fresh Start.  It's about the enthusiasm for the change here in the US and our opportunity now to move things forward addressing so many issues.  You'll hear the tension build and churn, as Mirko's beautiful moving fretless bass line moves the music and ear forward.  Sam's tenor playing is always moving and helps shape the sound, that is also a look back 50 years to when Coltrane was playing with McCoy.

A Fresh Start - Mirko Borach / Sam Mendez / Jamie Rhind

Are We Getting There?  Our original looks at the moment in time and new year with both large questions looming but also with hope and optimism.   Annie creates the emotional plea and Alan on both a blazing keyboard and guitar solos sets the tone.  And with Georg and Pinner, the intensity only goes up further.  Can't say enough about everyone here so just enjoy the music.

Quittin' Time - Tom Adams / Jamie Rhind

Some new goodness with the superb Al Schulman on guitar and Mirko Borach on bass.   How nice to have such musicians here joining me on our jazz original, Cosi Bello.  Both these guys so deeply involved in music and on so many levels. You won't find a single person who knows more about fine guitars than Al, and he's so humble too:).  We hope you enjoy the sound...
Be well, be safe and continue to mask up!
