“Vibrations Empowered Within" is a celebration of world percussion. 
It is an aural festival of the drum- with indigenous tuned percussive instruments from Japan, Indonesia, Africa, India, Latin America and the Middle East. 
Vocal elements are incorporated to enhanced the human element; as well as some electronics for good measure.

Four minutes of magic.  That's what we have here.  Assembled are such fine musicians from around the world - all serious about what they do and together, contributing to such a great sound.  The first time many have met musically, and a joy to bring these friends together.  

For me, Miles Davis has been the very highest beacon, and the Netherland's Ed van den Brekel brings his haunting electric trumpet sound and love for texture to the ensemble.  Ed plays with sound, and sure does so here with his harmonies and atmospheric approach.  Spanish percussionist Sergio Parraga adds his beautiful latin conga sound to drive the ensemble forward.  Love how he accentuates rhythms with syncopation, emphasis and such fine rhythm.  And for Slipping' & Slidin' we have two virtuoso guitarists - Lou Taverna and Dan van den Berg - simply tearing this apart.  Lou just hot home after a month away due to the tragic hurricane that hit New Orleans, and at long last was able to record his opening statement.  Damn, it is fire.  Such spectacular playing and impeccable rhythm and flow.   The second guitar solo is Soundcloud's legendary Dan van den Berg, also from the Netherlands, who brings his spectacular electric sound again to our music.  Simply adore what Dan plays and so special to have him here with Lou and this world ensemble.  Check out each of their impressive gallery of recordings:

This song, originally written for my 2nd daughter Joanna, was one of my first ventures into Latin Jazz.  Exceptionally talented pianist Debra Buesking heard it and wanted to add her Latin seasoning to it, and did she ever.  I love the spice she gave it; part Bossa, part Tango, all Debra.
Thank you my friend for the collaborations we have shared this year, and this maybe the most fun.  We hope you think so too:)  Hear more of Debra's fine playing and original arrangements @debra_buesking.

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.

Birthday Smile - Sam Mendez / Sergio Parraga / Jamie Rhind

We're excited to bring some new hot fusion to SoundCloud.  World View includes so many of my favorite players here, coming together to create a sound that take me back to the wonderful epic days of Weather Report, one of the seminal instrumental bands of our lifetime.  Five simply superb musicians and friends helped bring this original to life - Germany's Mirko "Stringburner" Borach on bass, Spain's Sergio Parraga on percussion, the US's Stephan Lipinski on guitar, Spain's Sam Mendez on tenor sax, and Norway's Will Paasche joining me on keyboards.  And oh can they play.  Stringburner lays down such a fantastic, grooving bass line reminiscent of Jaco, Sergio brings his world percussion sound on Congas, Bongos and Timbale, Stephan Lipinski adds his inside out guitar work, Sam Mendez with his always beautiful tenor sax sound, and Will Paasche with the effortless synth solo.  I've jumped on a classic flanged Fender Rhodes sound that Weather Report's Joe Zawinul used so well to help create the syncopation and add to the churn.  We've captured an almost live sound over this modal fusion, letting the cats stretch out and let loose.  Love what everyone does here on this tribute to Weather Report and to their all world sound.
Follow each of these exceptional players:

We hope you dig this as much as we do.  Be safe, be well and mask up.

And thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.  This one's for you Tyler...
