Ed's new Quartet + 3 album/CD “Covers” will be released August 23, 2024.

The + 3 are represented by Caroline Davis-Flute & Alto Saxophone, Ingrid Laubrock-Soprano & Tenor Saxophones and Billy Drewes-Soprano Sax, Clarinet & Bass Clarinet.

On the Covers album, Ed is joined by some of his favorite collaborators on the planet. This current quartet has been performing together for several years and individually, I’ve been making music with them for decades. Tom Rainey and I go back to the early 80’s. Drew Gress and Gary Versace back to the 90’s. The Great bassist Cameron is featured on 3 swinging tracks.

I played this improvisation yesterday and realized part of the melody quotes a piece by my late Chapman Stick teacher, Greg Howard. This song is dedicated to him.

Luv 2 The 9s

Luv 2 the 9s

Out Time

Our Time

Still itching at me
Still tugging at me
Stop reminding me
That there's no peace

What is it
What happened to me
What did I do
Why can't I see

Takes my mind
Takes my soul
I need to break
The spells, unfold

My troubled heart
My troubled mind
I need more power
I seek more divine

Devil steals love
Devil steals control
Devil bleeds all
Devil is no hope

It's more than food
It's more hate
It's more than gold
Save my soul, today

It will take your soul
Take your my mind
Drain your heart
Drain your sight

I need to fly
Into the air
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break
These spells, unfold

I need the strength
I need the rest
Fear no evil
Seek the best

Lift me up
I need to stand
Soon recover
I need your hand

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break
These spells, unfold
And, Let it all go!

Devil steals love
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control

I need to let it all go
I need to let it all go
I need to let it all go

It's more than food
It's more hate
It's more than gold
Save my soul, today

It will take your soul
Take your my mind
Drain your heart
Drain your sight

I need to fly
Into the air
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break
These spells, unfold

Avoid the hate
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Fight Inner Demons

Miftah Bravenda is a brilliantly dynamic songwriter, musician and producer.

Having served up a variety of one-off songs and EPs and singles, each release divulges into this artists creative output in a different way. With a sound firmly routed in electronica, his songs can spear off into different directions. From post-rock inspirations to synthwave to ambient soundscapes, there is a lot of diversity but all anchored by his electronic sensibilities.

As with many other prolific electronic artists, Miftah Bravenda would be quite capable of penning an eerie at atmospheric soundtrack to a Danish crime series or releasing a ground-breaking album akin to his contemporaries like Jon Hopkins.
