Track reminiscent of 1960s to present day hard bop. The melody is stated by sampled vibes sound. While no horns are present, the guitar somewhat similar to  the style of Kenny Burrell replaces horn solo.


Ain't Gon' Let You Give Me The Blues (Instrumental)

Melody is meant to evoke memories of "old times: on the old street." There are good and bad memories, faces you'd like to see. Others, not so much!!

Blue Nostalgia Street

This track is a straight ahead jazz waltz, with a lyric.

Waltz Serene

This instrumental, mellow jazz tune features an alto saxophone solo. Reminiscent of the work of Phil Woods, the combination of sax and vibraphone (melody) forms an atmosphere conducive to romance and/or loving, dedicated friendship.

This is sort of a biographical tune that speaks to the maturation of a naive country boy born in rural and raised in rural North Carolina, USA.

Comin' Home (To N.C.) Demo

This is not an attempt to emulate Coltrane's writing or playing, but, rather a musical expression of how his music made me feel at times.

It is my opinion that no electronic based music could come near to adequately emulating or imitating John Coltrane.

A loop based track to basically just experiment with that medium.
