RockJam07162014

Another Smooth Jazz instrumental I'd put together back in 2010 and didn't finish, clean up, or polish...Didn't You Know?  I thought so.

Didn't You Know

Profound lyrics inspired this piece of music about the loss and rediscovery of a lost love...years later, and now with another partner.

Do You Remember Me Girl

Tribute to Earl Klugh was beginning to sound like elevator music, so I tried to liven things up with this cut.  Again, rough cut ideas thrown together for the FUN of it!  Bass, Rhythm & Lead Guitars performed by Glynn "Sweet P" Pettiford.

Get Two Steppin'

Hugh Masekela made the original version of this song, but Friends of Distinction laid down the melody track to "Grazing In The Grass" - mine is a third concept of this song.  I was just having fun...it is what it is!

Grazing In The Grass Concept Take

Collaboration with my America Online Co-Workers.  Rich:  Drums; James:  Bass; Greg:  Lead & Rhythm Guitar; Glynn "Sweet P":  Rhythm/Lead.  Had a blast at James's house in Reston, VA...must have played 9 hours...just jamming!  Good memories.  Jammed so long, we called this one JAM NUMBER 999!  LOL

Jam Number 999

Rock meets funk at a Reston, VA jam session.  Nappy Head...an old school fave!  Rich, James, Greg and the "Sweet P" investigated this with a funkier cross-over to rock/fusion groove - provided by Rich.  We were a runaway train until Rich dropped us down in tempo.  Nice air in this piece...room to groove!  HAHA!!

Nappy Head Funkay

Missed In Time

This is a song that I created to explore an advanced tapping technique that I created back in 1969.  Didn't refine it until 1970s, but I kept at it.  Stanley Jordan met with me back in 1980, and took it to an entirely new direction.  But only a small portion of the world has heard the technique that inspired him to devote years to creating his style from it.  Here it is...performed live, at 2Jazzy Enterprises, Inc.
