This is my interpretation of a classic Burt Bacharach love song stripped down to it's etheral melody and translated by my six-string electric bass, interwoven with muted trumpet harmonies, set to a brushed bossa and crashing waves.

Bowtie (Interlude)

Award-winning founder of L.A.-based FunkJazzSoul band 3rd Scenario, Bugs is a multi-instrumentalist (bassist/trumpeter/vocalist) and 3rd generation musician of Afro-Cuban heritage. Known on both coasts, he is currently producing and recording his solo debut to be entitled "Front and Center" (set for Spring 2020 release).

A native of Baltimore, MD, Allen has a musical theater background, having developed the stage arts in the city's historic Arena Players. Also an anchor member of the Paris Escovedo Band, Bugs employs his natural aptitude for soulful Latin grooves alongside the son of Latin percussion fame Thomas Coke Escovedo -  the late younger brother of living legend Pete Escovedo, aka Sheila E's dad. 

Stay tuned as the musician/composer's music turns up as the score of the upcoming BET sitcom "Beauty and the Baller" written by Emmy and fellow NAACP Award-winning veteran TV writer Michael Ajakwe, Jr.
