Heart & Soul

My latest is another collaboration with the legend, Bruce Conover. He invited me to add some horn to his recent recording, Trickle-Down Day. I've added a melody at the beginning, doubled up using two different mutes, as well as a solo towards the end. 

Check out Bruce's other works: https://soundcloud.com/conover

Here is a link to the original track: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-conover/trickle-down-day

I have made this track downloadable in high-resolution. 

Melodyne notes: Using Melodyne Studio, it was easy making touch ups on the melody at the beginning. There are two different trumpet tracks where I recorded the same part with two different mutes. Being able to see both tracks overlayed together makes it easy to tighten up the timing. Super cool. =^]

Lyrics:
See we all feel it
But we can't be sure
Don't understand it
But we cant ignore
But what they won't tell you
I'll reassure
Cause I feel it too
There's something more


I wish you well 
I wish you learn to fly 
I wish you heaven 
I wish you never die
You'll live forever
See you on the other side
We'll fly together
I won't be hard to find

And this heart of mine/
Beating from the ancient to the modern times
And I don't mind
If I gotta go cause I'm on God's time
And I been here before, I'll do it again
Same soul but I'm in different skin
Im so indefinite
Infinity beyond
Dig up my tomb see these lyrics on the wall
I remember like I never died
In the physical but live like it's the otherside
In this pivotal moment 
I choose to live in the moment
Though I know I'm still existing in other times
Do you remember me?
Don't have a familiar energy
I was born in your thoughts through your instincts
Twas a short lil divorces did you miss me?

Many lifetimes many many lifetimes
I been at this music for many lifetimes
Played on them planes where they aint got no planes
But there aint no complaints
Cause the wings in your minds eye
I put plenty in their right mind
I tell them life and death is just like day and night time
Just because its dark doesnt mean it aint the right time
There is beauty in death like there's beauty in the night sky
Do you remember me?
Do you really think you did this independently?
Does looking in my eyes jog your memory?
Tell me what your feeling is it meant to be?
When we was other side you fly beside me
Our souls intertwined you the light inside me
The synchronicities will lift the blinders
She asked me "what took you so long to find me?"

If you feel it inside you
Then let me remind you
Thoughts they travel
Feelings they travel
You may be feeling what I do
So that feeling is real
But they don't know they won't there
But we are aware
We'll be live forever
I'll see you again

----- Lyrics -----

Hey, insomnia, can’t you leave me be?
I only had two coffees today, and now I need to get to sleep.
Midnight was five hours ago,
And now dawn’s knocking on my window,
Oh, hey, insomnia, won’t you give me some peace?

Hey, insomnia, can’t you leave my head?
You know I’ve got a long day tomorrow; hence, tonight, I hastened to my bed. Midnight was five hours ago,
And now dawn’s knocking on my window,
Oh, hey, insomnia, give me sweet dreams instead.

Insomnia, insomnia.
Can’t get away from ya, from ya.
(Goodnight, distant lover, oh)
(Maybe it’s just in my head, maybe it’s just in my head.)
(Just give me sweet dreams instead.)

Hanakotoba (花言葉)

Here's a swinging version of Summertime, George Gershwin's classic.  I'm on Hammond organ on the right channel and playing to a Jamey Abersold backing track.  

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

Lyrics:

I never seen a reign so long
I swear I never wanted to make this song
I never seen the fam so hurt
I swear I never wanted to write this verse

As a man i dont understand it/ im a parasite to the planet/ where paradise was apparent/ im a pair of dice to the paradigm/ its a gamble what you inherit/ cause black lives will vanish/ if i take back im a bandit/ when the earth storms im abandoned/ as the earth clease realize im the dirt/ cause I get washed and I get hurt/ then im stepped/ by the other man/ but the brother man get above the rim/ above the goverment/ raise above against/ the ones that come against him/ but the dark abyss make it hard to banish that curse/ sometimes we make matters worst/ 

You may be grown
You may feel crazy
But you still Gods little baby
Baby... baby
Please don't be what you see

You may feel old
And forgotten lately
Your still Gods little baby
Baby... baby
Please don't be what you see


I know your hunger kid
I know they hung your dad
Burned your mama crib 
I know that hurt you bad

I love living atrocious/ I love living it broke and cinnamon toast for dinner with roaches/ love hideous clothes/ denim with holes and dingiest loafers/ I wanna live in a hole where women are hoes and niggas are volchers/ I wanna sit on my throne and depend on my own/ while hitting them corners/It's the adrenaline of no benevolence living in hell with the cobras/ and I'll remember it like imma elephant/ that I'm a innocent hopeless/ and imma settle for loading the metal and blowing your head off your shoulders/ and imma prey I make it to heaven when under these heavy emotions/ cuzz I'm on a level with all of the Devils so can not tell who's the culpret/ and so for the hell of it put on my helmet holding my head imma soldier/ and I'm gonna stand cuz I'm a real man don't dare put your head in my shoulder/ cuzz when I am alone and I had no home/ you won't let me sleep on your sofa/ so when I got dough I'm gonna reload and you gonna reap what you sowed up/ cuzz I don got cold while living in lows looking for heat to warm up/ I wanna go and I wanna float but I'm so deep in the water/ that I can breathe it's over/ 

Cuzz it's too late for a brother like me
Before I'm born you dug a grave for a brother like me
Won't lend a hand but you just prey for a brother like me
Don't understand so degrading a brother like me
