“In seven-plus decades of listening to jazz and great music — knowing Max Roach, Buddy Rich, Billy Higgins, Louis Bellson, Alex Acuna, Joe LaBarbera, Roy McCurdy and other world class percussionists— I can attest to the singular fact that Henry Cole is among those elite magicians. The unrivaled complexity of his multi-layered rhythmic drive is astonishing in its intricacy, allure and stunning percussive coherence. ”

I am an architectural designer, musician,relic guitar builder, artist, purveyor and re-purposer of all things classic, cool and vintage from Cars, old pickups and motorcycles to the never ending search for vintage guitars to give new life. On my first track posted to soundcloud,I'm in the midst of working on my instrumental I've titled Firelight. I am using a 1965 Brazilian Gianinni Classical guitar over background piano, percussion and bass. This is of course in the works and not quite there...but maybe it is? who knows? Music has it's own soul and sometimes it is better left in a raw and simple mode. I might minimize the piano in the beginning or maybe remove the percussion and let the guitar simply work with the piano and the bass. of course I personally like the guitar by itself at the end. 
&lt;
p&gt;I am a big fan of the sounds that emanated from the Cowboy Junkies 1988 Trinity sessions. although not nuevo Flamenco it was indeed sultry, smoky and had that empty cathedral sound I evoke here, nothing like that sound it can raise the hair on your neck. I like the gamut of guitarist from the Rock heavies of Hendrix, Van Halen and Vai to the blues of SRV, the Flamenco of Ottmar Liebert, Mark Antoine and Jesse Cook, and the finger style of Antoine Dufor.. I welcome comments and the like and it's not so much that I seek to work the song to a final end as much as what feelings does it evoke in you? Let me know what you think. I love music, the arts and people and hope to gain new aquaintences through this portal. cheers!
