On the Edge - Harry Jacobson / Jamie Rhind

The blues comes to life here with three outstanding musicians joining me on our original groover Flight Time.  The head sounds so great with all the harmonies from Georg's multiple bari sax lines - almost a big band sound -  Harry's tight layers and Manuel's beautiful bouncing bass.  Harry kicks into a little electricity and we all sit back to groove.  Follow these superb players.  Always a thrill to be with each of them and great to have the world sound....  Harry's from Philly, Georg from Cologne and Manuel from Sardinia.

Flight Time - Harry Jacobson / Georg Boehme / Manuel Muzzu / Jamie Rhind

Walk on, Through the night 
Lunacy is burning bright
Stand tall, Against it all
If you trip I'll break your fall 
Hell fire, Burns away 
The fabric of our life today
Shell shocked, Everyone 
Now we stumble as we run

You been waiting a long time 
You are strong and you burn bright
Come on now and bring it all together 
You're the one to show me how 

Hold tight, Break the mould
Don't buy everything you're sold 
Eyes wide, Take it in
The only way to see within
Don't bow, Lift your head
Never forget the the things she said 
The memory, Of it all 
Pick it up, Take the call

Screen down, Look around 
So much more that can be found 
Boots on, March along 
Walk on back to where you're from 
Guilded cage, You're in 
Break it down, that's how to begin
Wake up, Can't you see 
Everything is energy 

You been waiting a long time 
You are strong and you burn bright
Come on now and bring it all together 
You're the one to show me how...

The Grand Narrative

Show Me How

Harry Jacobson joins Daniele Petrocchi and me on our original tribute to John Coltrane, Trane Wreck.  Coltrane and his quartet's sound with McCoy Tyler was so important in the 60s and together we explore some uptempo modal grooves and modes that drove Trane's seminal work with McCoy.  Harry's a teacher's teacher and brings the very finest sound to the Cloud.  Daniele's a monster electric bass player and musician and  lays down some beautiful bass lines and soloing too.  Sit back and smile:)

Follow these superb musicians and players:

Our fusion original Diminishing Returns gives guitarist Lou Taverna a chance to strut his stuff again.

Heart Of Gold

Me every night
I go out to party
Me every night
They call me

I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x2

Do not look for me when there is sun
I'm sure I'm not
I am a witness to the night
I don't have to tell you
What are you looking to find me
It's a lifestyle
I wear a brooch moon


I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x4

Testigo De La Noche

Some seriously fine jazz guitar playing from the exceptional Harry Jacobson on our original, Truth or Consequences.  The denial of facts and truth has become a significant concern here in the US and abroad, and our democratic system is under serious challenge.  We've dedicated this straight ahead jazz to mark the issue and remind us all of the importance of truth. 

Follow Harry's superb playing here - he's a true guitar master, having taught advanced rock, jazz, blues, fusion, funk and more for almost 20 years at the famed National Guitar Workshop, and toured and played with Carmen McRae, Jaco Pastorius and so many more:  https://soundcloud.com/harry-jacobson

Truth or Consequences - Harry Jacobson / Jamie Rhind

“CHKN DNNR” is an instrumental thrill ride told from the mind of an underworld don on the run.
Sirens blur in the distance. Engines roar. The city lights smear into streaks of danger as he floors the accelerator, chasing power, survival — and the taste of victory.

Built around gritty bass lines, tense rhythms, and high-speed cinematic grooves, the track captures the raw adrenaline of a car chase where every turn could be the last.

This isn’t just a song — it’s a scene.
A villain’s heartbeat.
A chase for dominance.
A moment where the don whispers to himself: “Tonight… I eat chicken dinner.”

🎧 Turn it up. Feel the wheels spin. Step into the getaway car.
— Be Right Back
