Thanks to all who have made this come to life.

Jazz Collection

Love finding great musicians from around the world here on SoundCloud and have developed these tunes with superb blues guitar players Joe Bongiovanni, Justin Valente, Tom Adams,  fusion guitarists and composers Ronny Heimdal and Benny Sutton, lyrical guitarist and prolific composer Igor Rajsa, wonderful electric bassist and composer Daniel Petrocchi, and jazz alto saxophone player, composer and recording artist Matt Criscuolo.    Such a treat to record with each of these fine musicians.  Hope you enjoy the music.  Check out each of their galleries for more of their playing.  

Collaborations

August

A Classic Hammond B3 organ jam in the style of the great jazz organ players, including Jimmy Smith and Joey DeFrancesco

B3 Boogie

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....

Funk And Burn - With Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente guitars and Matt Criscuolo alto sax

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:

https://soundcloud.com/ronny-heimdal

Hope you enjoy our music.  Thanks so much Ronny:)

Busting Out - with Ronny Heimdal / guitar

Another fun one with Scotland's outstanding guitarist and master chef Ian Tait.  Ian once again brings it home with his signature funky solo and rhythm playing that matches so well with my jazz fusion roots.  Sure you'll enjoy this groove and tune I wrote, and be sure to check out Ian's gallery here too.  He cooks!  

https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait

Goin' Home - with Ian Tait / guitar

Bringing a soulful sound to SoundCloud with this one.  Lifetime recording artist, soul vocalist, saxophone and harmonica player Johnny Pugh sits in with blues guitarist extraordinaire Justin Valente and me on an emotional Ray Charles type slow jam.  What a wonderful surprise to hear Johnny's beautiful harp lines, which fit perfectly with Justin's raw electric blues energy.  Real proud of this one, as it captures the heart and spirit of why we all love SoundCloud.   Check out Johnny and Justin's music here - you will love their playing.  Thanks for listening.

Soul Brothers - with Justin Valente guitar and Johnny Pugh blues harp and horns

Can't take too much credit for this one, but loved the funky backing track and added an extended organ solo over the top.  Has a great groove and thought I'd have some fun with it.  Enjoy!

Fresh Funk

So much fun to have musicians all over the world play together, and this jam includes three of my very favorite guitarists and musicians here on SoundCloud...Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente.  These guys can all light up a stage, and graciously came together for this funky collaboration.  If you aren't following them all you should be - you'll be getting fresh tracks almost every day from each.  Tom and Justin are both from the US (Austin and NYC), and Ian hails from Edinburgh, Scotland.   For our Summer Funk Jam here, we started with a very funky internet backing track, allowing everyone to dig in and do their thing.  You'll recognize each of the guys' styles if you've been listening to their galleries, and together it makes for some serious Summer Funk.  Thanks guys for all the ongoing support - each of you help bring out the best in SoundCloud.  Make that SoundCloud FUNk.  Let us know what you think - it is always inspiring to get feedback on our playing:

guitar: Tom Adams @tom-adams
guitar:  Ian Tait @ian-tait
guitar:  Justin Valente @justin-valente
organ:  Jamie Rhind @jamie-rhind


Summer Fun(k) Jam - collab with Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente / guitars

Kicking back with a soulful Summer organ groove.  This one was inspired by my favorite Hammond B3 Organ players -- the greats:  Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFrancesco, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, Larry Young.

Hope you enjoy the groove and playing as much as I do.  Thanks as always for listening and commenting.

B3 Groovin'

Created this Latin Jazz Rock tune with a very percussive latin groove over classic jazz changes.  Justin as always does a fantastic job with the guitar, helping anchor the mood while developing a fine solo to complement the salsa groove.  Put on your dancing shoes...

Booming

Gimme the mic once committed there's no limit
My true friend to the end and I'm in it to win it
Putting art to the verse it's simply amazing
From the start I traverse the bars fired up and blazing
Spit a bar and rehearse but --son----Still not done
Pull another out the air where'd that verse come from
Could it  be that easy that's a conundrum
Don't believe what you're hearing not until I'm all done
Ride the bars of the track without hesitation
Provide a look back for future generations
There's a real simple answer to this equations
IPG1's on the mic and he rock the nation
From the ground up to the top I've risen 
no way can I ever stop I'm driven
Man on a mission without commission 
World full of chaos that's just the condition
Imagine third eye vision making all decisions 
A technician behind the mic's transmission
Don't care who's in charge I'm breaking tradition 
King in my own right and not a politician
truth is my authority so I'm in violation 
not just a number awaiting decomposition
Rampaging the clouds like a damn maniac 
other rappers are like how's he do it like that
Releasing a smash with each and every track 
they love what they hear on initial contact 
addicted to hip-hop yeah!! another playback 
Beats on point sharper than a thumbtack 
versus written like a best selling paperback 
calling the shots like a damn quarterback 
hitting like a meteor Now 
check the impact (X3)

Chorus
Boom -------------watch for fallout hit the ground 
mushroom cloud in the air we underground 
Haters stopped in their tracks totally spellbound 
mesmerized by the rap the beat the sound 
100 proof never watered down 
keep an eye on the clouds more hits inbound 
check your release dates whenever he's around 
East Coast West Coast where the hell did he come from 
he's from Level One Up it's IPG1

They're trying to cutoff the broadcast won't let em
black out conditions override 
let's get em
You can tell that it's me from the crowds I draw 
and we still partying on the streets like it's Mardi Gras 
with no rhyme or reason but a reason for the rhyme
it's a celebration of life ain't  just doing time 
hellfire I'm hotter flow like water 
crazy as a motherfucker yeah sort----a
give me a beat if it's thorough I'd rock it
if not kick it to the curb -----------fuck it!!!!
(Repeat parts some 1, 2, 3 & 4)

*Bonus track from our upcoming Ep "Short Daze Long Nights"*

Thought I'd ask the great Justin Valente https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente, my favorite blues rock guitarist on SoundCloud, to join me on this modal blues rock original. I'm such a huge fan of fine guitarists, and ever since I heard Justin's sound here I quickly fell in love with what he is doing.  Was going to create space to join him on the soloing, but in the end wanted to share his full playing.  Justin's laid back blues orientation works so well with this groove, which was written for him in mind.  Reminds me of the opportunities so many of us have had in rehearsal and recording rooms, in basements and (I guess) in garages to stretch out.  The name stands for Justin and Jamie...we both love a great jam.  And if you love the blues and blues rock, be sure to jump onto Justin's page and follow him.  Always a great tune coming your way.  We have now done over 25 tunes together here and each one is a thrill.  Thanks Justin!

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 - itunes.apple.com/us/album/barcelona/id1071251143

Thanks so much for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

J & J Jam - with Justin Valente / guitar

Here's a extended original with SoundCloud's Texas bluesman extraordinaire Tom Adams.  So great to have Tom's tasteful guitar back again...he’s taken a few months off after the most difficult news of his father's recent passing.  Singing the blues for sure...and I've lost both my parents the past 3 years.  So we’re dedicating this tune to Lloyd, to help keep Tom's father's spirit alive with our SC friends, and to help ease the pain Tom has gone through - and so many others have here as well.

The opening I-IV groove is in the style of jazz organ legend Jimmy McGriff and soul jazz duo Les McCann /Eddie Harris - a simple, grooving little number to get your feet tapping, your hands clapping, and your head bobbing. Gospel style.  Check out what Tom brings here, to his wonderful style and to his masterful bluesy sound.  The bridge section throws down some classic jazz changes behind a choir, setting up the return of Tom and the blues soul jazz section.

"After listening to Sweekuh’s latest work, a remix of Molly Moore’s “Piece of my Heart,” it was impossible for us not to provide him with some well-deserved credit. It is fair to say that the track is a breakthrough for him; it establishes that long sought-after sound – the one that makes you say “this is exactly how it should be”' - @themusicninja | http://www.themusicninja.com/electronic-molly-moore-piece-of-my-heart-sweekuh-remix/

Lyrics (Tina Fisher Music)

Ascending through time

Floating through space

Losing my mind

Finding my place

My place in this world

Seems so far away

 

Feeling you near

Yet you’re so far

Knowing you’ll always be here in my heart

Whenever this life is cloudy and grey

I’ll feel the light come and lift me away

 

For Nobody knows what’s up in the stars

The gleam of the heavens only stretches so far

For nobody knows, nobody knows but me 



And as light years pass, stars will fade

Planets collide but you'll remain 

Safe in my heart here with me

Where you are still mine, where we can be free. 



For nobody knows what you mean to me

For nobody knows, nobody but me

Now my wings are full grown, I'm your guardian now 

Sending light from the heavens....let me show you fly

Let me show you how to fly



And as light years pass, stars will fade

Planets collide but you'll remain 

Safe in my heart here with me

Where you are still mine, where we can be free. 



I follow the light

I belong to the stars 

I fly free through the heavens

Though I long for your arms

But you'll always be with me 

And I feel that you are near

And with me watching over 

You have nothing to fear



For nobody knows what you mean to me

For nobody knows, nobody but me

Now my wings are full grown, I'm your guardian now 

Sending light from the heavens....let me show you fly

Let me show you how to fly



Fly away

Nobody knows 

Nobody knows but me



Let me show you how to fly

Let me show you how to fly

Fly, fly, fly, flying high

Fly Away

For those of you who haven't discovered Orlando "The Don" Lund, here's your opportunity.  Orlando is a serious pro, having built a career as a writer, multi instrumentalist and producer in London during the '90s Soul Funk era, leading and creating with some of the finest contemporary jazz and funk musicians in Europe.

Orlando approached me about playing on a tune I had released here, What the Funk, quickly sending 5 tasty tracks to me - a solid grooving bass line, a congas line, two rhythm guitar tracks and a George Benson style guitar solo.  I've worked them all in here, adding them to all my keyboard parts, creating some sweet soul jazz for your listening pleasure.  Check out Orlando's wonderful Palma Groove Project recordings on his gallery - really special creations.

bomba soul funk 45s rare ded generale la famillia

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.

BITe Funk (Jamie Rhind & BITs)

Here's an original reggae tune brought to life by three very fine musicians, Alpha Roots on guitar, Julien Apelian on keyboards and piano and Ian Greaves on vocals.  Alphio is so deeply rooted in serious reggae, and brought his great understanding and love to his riddim guitar work.  Julien as always has contributed sweet playing and ideas with two keyboard tracks and also the two fine synth solos.  And Milwaukee's Ian Greaves's sweet lyrics and vocals tell the story.    

Love how these guys each contribute to the overall sound and conception.   
Check out their extensive galleries here on SC:

A Positive Mind

Nothing like the thrills of the '70s Muscle Cars.   How 'bout a '72 Camero...

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

'72 Camero

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.
