Jazz

Joe Bong

A collection of the many tunes that world class Ohio blues axeman Joe Bongiovanni  https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni and I have recorded together on SoundCloud.  Joe is one of the most soulful guitar players I have ever ever heard - anywhere - and he brings that inner passion and sensitivity to every recording.  His tone, his phrasing and his interpretation are envious.  In fact, for the second year in a row, Joe has earned a finals spot playing in the World Championship of Blues Guitar in Memphis, Tennessee.  Best of luck there Joe.  Wish I could be with you there.

Thanks for being here to soothe the Soul, Joe.  Also included in this collection is the exceptional blues guitarist Justin Valente https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente who we team up with on the super funky Funk and Burn.  Check out their wonderful SoundCloud galleries:

Loved playing this slow blues with Joe.  He's a real master.  Enjoy the smooth sounds...

I Got The Blues - with Joe Bongiovanni / guitar

What fun pulling this together with three serious musicians.  You probably know Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente's awesome blues oriented guitars, and they stretch out here on this funk / soul / fusion groove.  Burning it up they are.  And joining us on Alto Sax is recording artist Matt Criscuolo.  Look for him at mattcriscuolo.com.  These guys just play their ass off here.  Started with an internet fusion loop, I added many keyboard lines to funk it up to the max, and we added these pros.  Joe takes the opening solos for the first four minutes, Justin follows, and we finish with all the guys trading off.  So much energy.  Positive energy here.  Put this on and relax.  Hope you enjoy the entire tune - an extended play jam.  Damn this is burning.... Thanks for listening.  The guys would love your thoughts....

For a dear friend who passed.Thank you jamie for the beautiful keys

Blues For Roy with jamie rhind

It's been too long since Ohio bluesman Joe Bongiovanni and I recorded a tune together, so I wrote this one with Joe's soulful and lyrical playing in mind.  Joe has several times been a finalist at the World Championship of Blues Guitar, and it sure shows in his beautiful playing.  This is our 13th tune together, and I'm really proud of what we have recorded.  Check out Joe's wonderful gallery at https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni

The photo is one of my favorite sunsets I have ever shot, in beautiful East Hampton, NY.  

And for those interested, I have just released Barcelona and I Believe, 2 CDs of my own music and a few jazz standards.   SoundCloud's Dan van den Berg and Al Schulman wrote the liner notes for them.  Here's a link if you are interested in checking them out - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/barcelona/id1071251143

Lyrics:

You were all I had on saturday
I was coming home to love you love you down
And now I still forget on sadder days
That you're not at home, that you're not around

Living with your pain all autumn
Ain't a soul who could solve em
But I could've been more there for you
I could've told you that I cared for you
I should've said something that night
When you looked me in the eye and
Told me bout the time when
You were eighteen and you wanted to die
So you went and laid down in the dark on the highway
You said you were there just laying
But no cars ever came and
After half an hour you got up and you went back home
Cause you got sick of waiting
You laughed when you told me that story
And so I did too, but
I should've been more worried
I should've known what you would do

In my mind I'll always keep it close
One more time, before I let you go

You were all I had on saturday
I was coming home to love you love you down
And now I still forget on sadder days
That you're not at home, that you're not around

In my mind I'll always keep it close
One more time, before I let you go
In my mind I'll always keep it close
One more time, so I could let you know

That you were all I had on saturday
I just wasn't home in time to love you down
And now I still forget on sadder days
Which of us is gone, and which is still around

Our August.

Agua Azul

Here's my original track I made after a long long time...
dedicated to the loners who had envisioned a design for his/her ideal city during late modern times, which has never been realized because of its radical idealism and criticism against the reality of materialistic world.

It's an instrumental blues rock, but actually, I wrote the draft at first as a song with lyrics a couple of years ago, but I couldn't finish the lines, and let it alone... then almost have forgotten... but I found it on my HD a few months ago, then have revised it as a completely instrumental version...
I hope you enjoy. Any feedback will be appreciated...Thank you in advance.

[Ain't the one - Music info]
- Music Composition, Instrumentation (Guitars, Bass Guitar and Drums) and Production: Hiroshi Kohno
 - All were played and recorded in the studio (live, open-mic-rec)

This time, I didn't use any distortion effector...instead, done with minimal overdrive of amps to avoid the undesired turbidity of sounds while picking the several strings at once, since I found that my strat had the problem with intonation tuning on the high position, which I couldn't adjust myself...

- Guitar: Fender USA Stratocaster '58 extra re-issued(tuned to one semitone dropped down)
 w/ Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Amp.
>> Lead(on the right) & Some other small fills (various position): 
 Front-PU, w/Boss CS-2, Vintage CE-1 & Maxon AD-9. 
 Additionally, Boss BF-2 for Choir-like fills.
 >> Rhythms (on the left): 
 Half-tone(front-middle PU), w/Maxon RTC600, MXR Phase90 & Maxon AD-9.
- Bass: Fender USA '66 Precision-Bass 
 w/ Fender Bassman Amps, plus Boss CS-2.
*All effectors were anterior use to amps. 
- Drums: Tama Acoustic Drum Kit w/Zildjian Cymbals (6-mics rec).
- Mixing and a few minor edit (revision) of drums : DAW.

Angel Eyes

Sometimes it is better to just listen and think.  Some feel good gospel for you here with such an impressive lineup.  Al Schulman starts things with his beautiful swinging guitar, Scott Nelson is next with more soul and passion, and then back to Al to finish.  Mirko Borach again anchors such a fine bass line and the superb Johnny Pugh jumps in with big time harp.  I'm having a blast with the keyboards here.

Braxton Cook "I Can't"

The songs and pieces of this project carry deep inspirations from the local and regional Arabic musical heritage mixed with the pulse and the sounds of modern arrangement approaches of the global musical culture form a reflection of the artist's vision on the creative capabilities inherent in the social movement accelerated in the modern Arab city, in its harmonies and disorders. Lyrics are a mix between contemplative look at the Jordanian identity, the country rural nomadic side and the mystic Soufi poetry. This is the 3rd production for Yacoub Abu Ghosh, who is considered one of the pioneers of the alternative music movement in Jordan.

Here's a very pretty tune that SoundCloud's Swiss bassist, composer and producer extraordinaire Paul Racle created as an open invitation.  I loved what he's done here and jumped in by adding a few synth melody lines over the top to help bring it further to life.  Paul creates and shares so much music here on SC - check out his galleries:

Do It Now - with Paploviante

Ohio blues guitarist extraordinare Joe Bongiovanni's three word note to me today of "got any blues?" is a little like asking a chef if there's any food in the kitchen.   The answer was not at the moment but an hour or so later I was sending him this fun original ..Smokin' with Joe, created for the moment 

There are very few guitarists who can bring what Joe does to the blues - he's a many time finalist performing in the famous International Blues Challenge in Nashville, TN.  So an honor to be asked and then recording with Joe again.  Gorgeous playing as you will see - Joe's playing his Les Paul here - and I follow it up with a little Hammond Organ.  
We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Check out Joe's soulful and emotional playing here:  https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni

And here's a playlist of our tunes we have recorded together here - so many favorites. https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/jammin-with-joe-bongiovanni-1  

Keep asking me Joe.  Smokin' Joe!
