Back To Back - Louis Taverna / Jamie Rhind

Created this tune to combine elements of rock and fusion, and was looking to set up soloing similar to what John McLaughlin and Jeff Beck did with Jan Hammer.   Norway's superb fusion guitarist, composer and recording artist Ronny Heimdal is featured, and just tears it up.  Into pieces.  Little pieces.  Check out his gallery here on SoundCloud:

Hope you enjoy our music.  Thanks so much Ronny:)

Back with Scott Nelson on guitar and Mirko Borach on bass for some heavy funk.  This time we're doing Heavy Duty Judy, another original.  Gotta love Mirko's wonderful slap bass technique and lines, and when Scott's solos come in we are taken for a Heavy Duty Ride with Judy.

So special to be able to play with St. Louis' fantastic jazz fusion guitarist Bill Clark and Germany's Mirko Borach on bass.  This original, named for one of my favorite rock bands Deep Purple, showcases Bill's aggressive sound and approach to rock and fusion.  Follow him here on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/bill-clark-music and also check out his latest album Promised Land, with his fusion band  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/billclark1  .  Mirko https://soundcloud.com/stringburner is of course no stranger to SoundCloud, and we've done over 20 tunes together now, including this rocker, where he just nails every note and anchors it with his big sound and phrasing.  Thanks to both of these outstanding musicians for their contribution.
