Here's my track listing, with a difference:

This is dedicated to you MY FUNNY VALENTINE (Paul Brown and Peter White) so its time to TURN OFF THE LIGHTS (Jeff Golub) because I am YEARNING FOR YOUR LOVE (Maurizio Grondona Group) as the LOVE CALLS (Kem Smooth Jazz Tribute)its time for SENSUALITY (Brian Culbertson) and get BETWEEN THE SHEETS (Fourplay) as your LOVE CALLS (Walter Beasley) on the phone as we are DISTANT LOVERS (Kim Waters). ANY LOVE (Kirk Whalum) can be close so imagine IF YOU WERE HERE TONIGHT (Maurizio Grondona Group)and not just ON MY MIND (Brian Culbertson) you would feel the TWILIGHT TOUCH (Fourplay), ANYTIME (Ivan Boyarkin).

Enjoy this mix and enjoy Valentines Day whether you are in a relationship or are single! Music will always be your companion x

Day Dream

Accordingly to Wikipedia,  "Donna Lee" is a bebop jazz standard composed by Miles Davis (originally attributed to Charlie Parker). Written in A-flat, it is based on the chord changes of the jazz standard "(Back Home Again in) Indiana". Beginning with an unusual half-bar rest, "Donna Lee" is a very complex, fast-moving chart with a composition style based on four-note groups over each change.

In 1975, he recorded for the Epic label, his first album as a leader, titled Jaco Pastorius. This is the album that brought him fame. It is true that this record is abounding and gives a good overview of virtuosity and wide musical spectrum Pastorius (jazz, rhythm and blues, rock and Caribbean music). This album contains, among other pieces of anthology, a resumption of standard bebop Donna Lee in duo with percussionist Don Alias, which  I had the great opportunity to jam with in Montreal.(Don Alias not Jaco) 

In the 70s before I heard Donna Lee, I started to think it would be nice to play some of those Bebop standards (that I was not able to play then) in funk ... then for the kick of it I did record it using Band In A Box  in 2008 (referencing to Pastorius while playing the theme! )

Hope you like it!

Listening to the suggestions of the great Milana's Piano,
 I imagined a smoky and crowded American jazz clubs where they perform an amazing pianist, along with a  amateur sax player and a double bass player... :-))
The final applause is not self-congratulatory but serve only to re-create the atmosphere.

Piano :                     Milana Zilnik
Synth Tenor Sax .     MayaDog
Synth Double Bass : MayaDog
As always, your opinions are most welcome.

I highly recommend buying the latest album from Milana Zilnik.
"Una Corda Fantasia"

Thank you all for your attention.
