Dance With Me

In poker, you double down when you get two aces.  And that's just what we have here...two aces.  Scott Nelson and Mirko Borach.  Both superb musicians and guys who you put money on.  So fortunate to have both here on SoundCloud - Scott https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064 is from outside of Philadelphia, and is a complete master on guitar.  We had to team him up with another master on bass, Essen Germany's Mirko Borach, who is well known here on SC as Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Full credit to these wonderful players as they bring our original Double Down to life with me.  Follow these guys and head back into their galleries here for so many exceptional pieces.  I've recorded over twenty with Mirko and now five with Scott.  Loved each one and hope you will too.

Can't Stop The Beat

How cool of Zurich producer Paul Racle to be making music for everyone else.  You've gotta love the attention Paul throws into Shell Game, from his signature funk bass sound to the crisp funky drumming.  Sounded to me like it only needed a synth line -
Follow Paul's extensive collection of original recordings and collabs: https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle .   This is our ninth tune together - thanks to Paul's outpouring of original music.  We hope you love it:)https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/playing-with-paploviante

Shell Game - with Paul Racle / everything but the synth solo

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.

As Hip As They Come

Back with Zurich's finest bass player and producer Paul Racle, having jumped on a recent collab he posted called Phoenix.  Paploviante is a deep musician, and lays down a heavy funky groove and percussion here that was asking for even a little more fun(k).  Paul creates across so many musical genres and I love when he gets down and dirty, as in this heavy grooving.  Beautiful slap bass technique and sound!

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...

Summer Groovin'

Has been far too long since the exceptional Anthony CHeeZ Chessells and I recorded something together.  He's including me on a fine track on his upcoming album, which I know will be a most exciting collection of music.  On this jazz rock original, CHeeZ soars, using such a cool sound for his guitar mastery.  Anthony is from Melbourne, Australia, which is where the cover shot was taken, at their famous Brighton Beach.  Since we are on opposite hemispheres, our Summer Solstice today - the longest day of the year in our Summer - is the opposite of what Anthony has, with their shortest and winter time.

How great to be listening to the great Joe Bongiovanni play the blues!  Joe tears this original up, with the super soulful sound he is so well known for.  Several times Joe has been a finalist in the World Championship of Blues, in Memphis.   You'll hear why with his opening phrasing and sound.

Some Supra Funk to finish 2019 and head into the new decade.  Check out Stringburner's soulful funk bass playing and Pinner's nasty rhythm and lead guitar work!  We've done so much music together - over 60 tunes with each  - and this one just feels right. 

Happy 2020 to all.  Let's make this a funky decade.

2020 Supra Funk - Stephan Lipinski / Mirko Borach / Jamie Rhind

A little funk to lift up the spirits.  Joined again by the fantastic and always funky Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski.  And he pushes it again here.   A big thumbs up too as Stephan's been helping at a hospital.  So many in need right now.  https://soundcloud.com/pinner

And for the collection of the 65 recordings we have done together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/smokin-with-stephan-stephan

No, that's not Pinner there but Snoop Dogg, at a recent NYC show.   We can't duplicate that stuff but we can use the shot on the album cover:)

Lay low, stay safe and away from people, and enjoy the groove

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
