This a re-upload. I have accidentally posted a track without vocals :)

The 3rd track on the "L'Absurde" album. The track was inspired by "Delia 45: Care-Charmer Sleep" poem by Samuel Daniel (1562-1619), which is a poem that has been with me for a long time. It was even an inspiration for a neofolk project I had a decade ago called "Clouds in Vain".

Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night, 
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born: 

Relieve my languish, and restore the light, 
With dark forgetting of my cares, return; 

And let the day be time enough to mourn 
The shipwreck of my ill-adventur'd youth: 

Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn, 
Without the torment of the night's untruth. 
Cease dreams, th' imagery of our day-desires, 
To model forth the passions of the morrow; 

Never let rising sun approve you liars, 
To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow. 
Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain; 
And never wake to feel the day's disdain.

Clouds In Vain

With the tragic news of jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco's death at 51 last week, Al Schulman and I created our Blues For Joey D tribute.  Al's got the guitar and bass here and sure swings hard.  Check out his wonderful collection of jazz  https://www.alanschulman.com https://soundcloud.com/alanschulman including his beautiful duet and ensemble music with his wife Stacey and ASIS https://www.asisjazz.com 
And here's a collection of the 20 tunes we have recorded together :  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-al-schulman

The great Joey DeFrancesco will be missed by so many, but his incredible recordings live on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkpb63NNlAI

Blues for Joey D reached #7 on SoundCloud's Hot and New playlist in the jazz and blues category

Blues For Joey D - Al Schulman / Jamie Rhind

This piece was inspired by a photo of ornaments of two cats hanging on the cabinet. They are the kind of cats that would enjoy tasty dissonances and find laughter in mundane life as they whisper amongst themselves in low voices when people are not looking. The piece begins as a quiet story-telling monologue in 12-bar blues format, but becomes more conversational and playful in the second refrain.

Gossipping Cats

Scarlatti Sonata K. 1 in D minor

"Tears of Solace" is a heartfelt composition that begins with a poignant synth introduction, setting a somber tone. As the piece progresses, the delicate melody unfolds on a Steinway piano, accompanied by the rich tones of a Felt C7 for the lower harmonies. Soft and soothing female choirs join in, adding gentle layers and a touch of tenderness. With a BPM of 108, the music captures a sense of solitude and melancholy, evoking emotions of sadness and reflection.

Long Time Gone was originally written as a “swing” blues for a recording session with Bill Kavanagh's Blues Affliction in 2014 (SC link below).
	In keeping with my fascination for eccentric rhythms, I later thought I would try it in a 7 beat meter.   The result was good enough that I asked Foresto, N.O.B.S., and Tot. to give me a hand.   These very talented musicians had joined with me previously on “Heart of Snow” (SC link below).
	The track came out even better than I had hoped ... retaining all the characteristics of a rock/funk boogie while losing none of the odd feel of the unusual meter.

Lyrics
        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

        you might dance with the devil but that don't make him your friend
        you might gamble on the devil but that don't mean you're gonna win
        best to keep your cards close you just might meet him again

        perhaps I'm just a fool behind a sage's mask
        I keep posing questions only heathens ask
        may be come judgement day I will pay for my faithless past

        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long, long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

yes we're a long, long time gone
