The Way It Goes
I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing..
an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions, I am a jazz musician.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock.. I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a jazz musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh and innovative style of jazz..
after many years on the axe I've finally done 2 CDs showing my style.. RAPSTER GUITARS IT.. 1 and 2.. original songs and collabs featuring syntopia, redeyeC, margot du bois, TLT50, big daddy cee and brian mattson.. order both my CDs here direct:

"there..s no one I know can do what you do with a piece of music"
"G..Day Brother.... All the best to you! You are definitely a musical mastermind.....with an ingenius sense of melody & crazy mad skills on the guitar!"
"Incredible guitar playing, solos are out of this world! Blows my mind...great production and excellent song. You have taken things to a whole new level...."
Can..t Be Stoppin
Joe...."Find Our Way Home" Some of your best work to date. The vocals are excellent, beautiful guitar mastery.... Corrado's exceptional keys are icing on the cake.This is a tremendous collab... just superb. BRAVO.... !!!!!
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. LUKE 6:22-23 Be blessed ,stay blessed and be a blessing to others.
"Find my way home"... what a beautiful, gentle piece... so in love with this groovy ballad. Corrado's piano has THAT flow, and Joey's vocals let me dream of the spring sun that I'm missing so much.
Hello My Dear Friends!
Sorry I haven't been in touch for so long, but over the winter I had major abdominal surgery, and though recovery has been slow, it has been steady and I'm starting finally to feel like my old self again. For surviving my wife bought me a new Stratocaster that I hope to include on some new songs in the very near future. I hope all is well with you and that 2009 is bringing BIG things your way. I just wanted to stop by and say I'm still alive ....literally!
All of my love and the absolute best to you and yours,
David England
