Let's funk a little more...

Daft Funk

It's Sunday and no time better for a little grooving...this one's a little soulful blues and the photo's from the greatest blues club of all, Chicago's Kingston Mines.  When you visit Chicago be sure to go at least one night.  Live blues on two rotating stages from 8p - 4a every night of the year.   And if you can play they often let you sit in.  People all over bringing instruments for late night action.  Named our newest dog Koko Taylor, who's photo in in the poster on the wall - the Queen of Chicago Blues.

That Ain't No Jive

Let's groove a little.  Soul Jazz style...

Soul jazz comes out of a combination of styles including soul, R&B, blues and gospel.  Often it includes a Hammond organ in an organ trio setting.  Here we double your fun...

It Can't Get Any Funkier Than This...

Times sure are funky.  Be safe and respect social distancing.

These guys are all so great.  Check out all their music!  Georg is all over that Baritone Sax, Stephan on the grooving guitar and Daniele simply nailing the bass.  Couldn't be more fun for me.

It Can't Get Any Funkier

Mixing it up again with a hip hop groove, some funky fusion, a little latin and more.  Keep those masks on and social distance at all times.

Flatten the Curve

How sweet it is to have the exceptional Daniele Petrocchi join me on electric bass on our original, Back to "School".  Starts out as a Bossa Nova and then heads into some serious funk territory.  Daniele lives just outside of historic Pisa, Italy, and is such a fine musician.  Follow more of his gorgeous phrasing and music here:  https://soundcloud.com/daniele-petrocchi
And follow his collection of great videos of his playing on YouTube:

Are You Grooving?   - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

Anyone hungry for a little 70's soul food?

70's Soul Food

Some straight ahead blues.  We've got to do a whole lot better to get this thing under control.  Wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands.  We're all in this together.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your blues.

I'm Feeling The Blues

A little soulful Hammond organ blues to warm the soul.  
Mask up everyone.  It's a mess out here.  

Be well.  Be safe.  Social distance.  Wash hands.  Please Mask up

Gotta Dig In - Put Your Masks On!

Once again Zurich's Paul Racle has created a super funky track and offered it up for collaboration.  I jumped on it, adding some synth work with chords and solos, and latin percussion.  But it's Paul's creation, which features so many sides of his abilities.  I'll start with this ability to create and share with and for others, as he has been doing this for years on SoundCloud, across so many different genres.  I've jumped in on almost 20 of these and it's always a blast because the tracks are so well done.  Paul (Paploviante here on SC) is a multi talented musician, including a very strong bass player, guitarist, drummer and writer.  Check out and follow his SC music:

Funky Space - Paul Racle  /  Jamie Rhind

Here's a pretty jazz original Turn Down The Lights.  Joining me are Georg Boehme on both bari sax and alto flute and Sergio Parraga on congas.  So fortunate to be able to record with these fabulous pros, who also do their thing here on SoundCloud.  Georg is a one man band while also leading a big band in Cologne, and Sergio is a recording artist from Barcelona.  There's so much interaction among the baritone sax and flute here, despite the fact that the lines were recorded separately.  Enjoy the fine music during this holiday weekend and beyond.
