Instrumental Adaption of Fly Me to the Moon
(Bart Howard/Quincy Jones/Frank Sinatra)

SwingTheJazz

This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...

Get It Right

Pop this on and groove for a while... 
Stringburner sets that great funky groove down low, Sam's flute is dancing and Al's burning it up on guitar.  And they dance and dance.  So much fun on our original, Good Luck.
How nice to line up this ensemble - each of these guys is superb.  Mirko's https://soundcloud.com/stringburner driving a classic '72 Mustang Mach 1 and it shows.  His and our deep love for Jaco comes through here too.  Follow his extensive collection of recordings with some of my favorite players.  We've done over 60 tunes together:
Sam Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero has such a wonderful sound here on flute, and so tastefully lightens it up with his gorgeous latin phrasing.  Fortune to have him as he's just returned from gigs in beautiful Mallorca.  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-santi-caballero
Alan Schulman https://soundcloud.com/alanschulman  plugs in here - a good thing - and pushes us all with his drive, articulation and chops.  https://www.alanschulman.com  Check out the superb music he creates with his wife Stacey, with As Is.  https://www.asisjazz.com. She is a wonderful vocalist.  Here's a playlist of tunes we have recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-al-schulman and Al wrote the liner notes to one of my first albums.
Great stuff guys.  And thanks to all for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Good Luck - Mirko Borach  /  Sam Mendez  /  Al Schulman  /  Jamie Rhind

TAFFETA | Part 6

I fell in love with FP Morin's track and he graciously let me do some vocals, go over and visit him and listen to his wonderful music :-https://soundcloud.com/fpmorinstudio
Lyrics:-
Salsa Halloween
As funny as it seems
And spooky as a dream
It's an age old theme
Good versus evil
And it's part of the game again
Oh yeah

Good versus evil
Oh yeah

TAFFETA | Part 7

It's Stones Covers Tuesday! When we were 20, my friend Micha and I had been spending dozens of hours in his small red car driving from gig to gig. The car had a tape deck, and the only tape we had was some Rolling Stones concert bootleg. Since then, this song has always been one of my favorites, and my take on it is to have added a bit more junkie feel.

Dead Flowers

Have you Ever looked back Long Ago and wondered why?
how The decisions you made in your life affected you positive or negative?
Long ago I met someone that changed my life completely.
Has been an Influence on my music and my viewpoints, 
and I thank you for that  #see you in the stars

Long Ago

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd
