We're back again with Scratch and Sniff, having added Santi-Caballero Mendez's beautiful latin flute playing over a funky original.  Here's a fun one that combines a lot of sounds, grooves and influences, Scratch and Sniff. This original's built on a funky drum groove, where I discovered the ability to scratch using the pitch bend wheel on my synth, and then added some Latin jazz piano comping. With that sound in mind, went looking to find some players who's styles would complement the groove and immediately thought of Stuttgart's prolific Calaminus @calaminus and Boston's groovemaster MasterTonyD @mastertonyd, two real masters of funky groove. Each added to the overall sound, Jorg with some scratch sounds, the fun vocals and a little complementing horn to my Miles type muted trumpet lines, and Tony with a rock solid bass synth line. Then asked New York jazz guitarist extraordinaire Al Schulman @alanschulman to do his beautiful thing over the top. Thanks to the guys for working with me on this. A tough one to master, and I needed the liberty to do some splicing to get to this, as we have about 10 different tracks working together to find that Scratch and Sniff groove.

Thanks to these fantastic and creative musicians for joining me on this.

We thank you as always for your generous time listening, for your welcome comments and feedback and for your shares.
