Catlofe's latest single is inspired by being the only human home for an evening with three cats. Without the second human home (Catlofe's partner), the cats all cluster and cuddle around him, competing for attention, pets, and maybe a scrape of his dinner. Steam this one when you're home alone with your cats. They'll love it.

B3 Groovin'

Reflective break up song. The questions we’ve all asked ourselves again and again and again….

Blind Faith

Al norte.

lyrics:
Devil or god I don’t know who I been dancing with
But I got the torch always keep a candle lit
Vibe to ambient sounds write the manuscript 
Im far out wear a cross like an amulet 
Round the neck so the next flow gone set the tone
hearing echoes a vessel for the unknown
Do this for my folks names engraved in stone
Could’ve sworn we done been here before lord
I see pain feast n famine
In the first world the third all damaged
Beyond repair I could help by myself 
Causing ripples in this wave pool I seldom felt like
It made a difference cause grand scheme different 
N you don’t listen n I don’t either 
A bunch of shitty students making shittier teachers
Just tryna drop a few decent features

I know take the high road I go 
Out on my own I try to sing 
Them high notes but miss it
Every time
I find bliss numbing my soul 
dig for dirt n strike gold
Record n barely upload 
Lowkey this time we’ll find out

So much to know but there’s nothing to see here
Maybe we just grew too far apart to see clear
My deer your eyes look so pretty in headlights
Maybe we could do a bit better in the next life
Nice try I been tricked bamboozled
Too many times to not see failures as useful
Tools in my tool belt I’ll take all these L’s 
N use em to build something bigger than myself
If I never make it bet a listener will
mental relocation wishing you well
Please know the next level is still a prison cell
N there’s still a righteous path even for an infidel 
If it sells if it don’t if it leaves you alone
If it eats up your toast speaking with ghosts every night you go back to sleep
Dreaming of all these paths we seek

I know take the high road I go 
Out on my own I try to sing 
Them high notes but miss it
Every time
I find bliss numbing my soul 
dig for dirt n strike gold
Record n barely upload 
Lowkey this time we’ll find out

Here's a slow blues in G playing with a fine Jamey Abersold backing track.    Ever have the backseat blues?

Thanks as always for your time listening, your comments and your shares

Backseat Blues

this is the last blunt you'll ever chief
this is the last hit you'll ever toke
the sweet release of that purple leaf
i'll just await as you choke

(roll up!)

crush it, roll it up
spark it, and take a hit
grind it, pack it tight
we're getting fucking lit!

(time to get fucked up!)

It's Like Killing a Unicorn... With, Like, A Bomb

Latin Satin - with Santi-Caballero Mendez, Vivek Patel and Dan van den Berg

Here's a classic jazz standard A Foggy Day.  A Foggy Day was composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and introduced by Fred Astaire in the 1937 film A Damsel in Distress. Never saw the movie but the beautiful tune has stuck with me for a long time.  It was originally titled "A Foggy Day (In London Town)" in reference to the pollution-induced pea soup fogs that were common in London during that period, and is often still referred to by the full title.  So many greats have recorded this, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, George Benson and even David Bowie.

This recording was all done on keyboards.

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

'72 Camero

﻿░▒▓ファスト：ＧＴＧ▓▒░

1971 was an important time in music, where electricity was changing the landscape and Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz were all merging into psychedelic grooves.  Marshal stacks were often taller than the players, the players were higher than the Marshal stacks, Strats and Les Pauls were the axes of choice, Hammond B3 Organs and Fender Rhodes keyboards could compete for volume with the guitars, and the hair was even longer than the jams.   Woodstock was a recent memory, Jimi Hendrix had just passed but had moved into the funk and soul inspired Band of Gypsies period, Sly & The Family Stone was heating it up with heavy funk and soul inspired grooves, and Miles Davis had just released the seminal Bitches Brew fusion double album that literally changed music.  This was where it was at, with each of these musicians and bands being influenced by each other.  Great stuff that produced legendary sessions and recordings and pushed music forward with power, energy, groove and volume.  

1971 commemorates this time and mindset, and recreates the feel with friends from around the world who continuously exhibit this spirit, energy and hair in their playing:

Alpha Roots - djembe  Stuttgart, Germany  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots
Rikard From - Hammond B3 organ  Umea, Sweden  https://soundcloud.com/rikard-from
Stephen "Pinner" Lipinski - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/pinner
Scott Nelson - guitar  Pennsylvania, USA  https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064
Marco Oversteegen - guitar  Almere, Netherlands  https://soundcloud.com/marco-oversteegen
Justin Valente  - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente
Jorg Calaminus - Dusseldorf, Germany - mastering

A couple of words on each of the players:  ALPHA ROOTS - Alphio was the perfect choice to add his soulful African djembe percussion voice.  One of the most prolific and inclusive musicians here on SoundCloud, always speaking with a positive voice.  Check out his often reggae and dub inspired recordings.  RICKARD FROM - my favorite B3 player here on SoundCloud.  We haven't recorded before but wanted his beautiful sound and also wanted these other heavy cats to be introduced to his Jimmy Smith type playing.  STEPHEN "PINNER" LIPINSKI - one of the hottest jazz fusion guitarists on SoundCloud, bringing more modern Scofieldesque jazz lines and harmonies to 1971.  SCOTT NELSON - another burning jazz and fusion guitarist, Scott sound combines elements of the contemporary guitar masters - Scofield, Metheny and Martino - to create his extraordinary playing.  MARCO OVERSTEEGEN - no one on SC has a closer overall sound to Hendrix, and we needed Marco's fabulous rhythm playing and soloing to anchor this 1971 mood.  JUSTIN VALENTE - Justin's my favorite blues rock guitarist, and just had to be a part of this summit, bringing us that heavy electric sound of Jimi, The Allman Bros, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.  

So here's 1971.  Again.

Thanks to these great players for joining me and contributing so much to 1971, and also to all the listener, for your generous time, your comments and your shares.  And a special thanks to Jorg Calaminus for taking the initiative to master the sound for us to give you this real fine mix.

Here's that great classic soul jazz /R&B standard Green Onions, by Booker T & The MGs.  A big thanks to Dean for his invitation to Tom and me to jump in on this one.  Dean created a wonderful track, including burning B3 organ and voicings, Tom takes the guitar parts and I have a synth solo after the Hammond B3.  Such a groover.  Check out both Dean (Aleck Rand) https://soundcloud.com/aleckrand and Tom Adams here on SoundCloud.
