Influences

Too many to fit in one page some of my favorite music is listed here but i keep adding good stuff to my collection


Music is nutrition for your senses
and these are some of all times favs  of mine


1. Bring on the Night Sting A real masterpiece. Sting is a rock star who calls upon the most in-demand "jazz" guys to create a new unique way of playing great pop music. Everything on this live record is tasteful and soulful. The Kenny Kirkland solo on the opening two-track suite is legendary. Omar Hakim (drums) and Darryl Jones (bass) are a refreshing and funky rhythm section and it's all topped with killer solos by Branford Marsalis. This is how jazz can help, through pop music, to educate anybody to enjoy better music.

2. Still Warm John Scofield It is unfortunately out of print, but this title is my favorite Scofield recording mostly because the compositions are great and the late Don Grolnick ..s makes everything so tasteful. Omar Hakim and Darryl Jones are simply a groove machine.

3. We Want Miles Miles Davis Killer live album with electric Miles backed up by the "electric boys." Bassist Marcus Miller and guitarist Mike Stern indeed went a long way after this. No ProTools, no tricks, just pure live energy...the way it should be! A must!


4. The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 Earth Wind & Fire Next to the word "funky" in the dictionary should be a picture of this album cover. You can't stop moving when you listen to it.


5. L is for Lover Al Jarreau One of my favorite singers at his best. The compositions are great, the sounds are phenomenal, and the cast, with Steve Ferrone (drums), Philippe Saisse (piano), and Nile Rodgers on guitar, makes this a soulful favorite. 

6. Life on Planet Groove by Maceo Parker: please let's be realistic this has to be the funkiest thing ever. And i was lucky enough to study with mr. Kenwood Dennard himself.
Him and Maceo do a duet on the first track that it's like the conversation between two nobel prizes graduated at the groovology university on Funk City. Please...Comon....get it!

Some of my favorite songs:
What the World Needs Now by Burt Bacharach, Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Tarrell version),Lesley Ann by David Sanborn, Another Day by Sting (Studio single version), In Your Eyes by Dan Siegel and Boney James, Questione di Feeling by Mina e Cocciante,Io Canto (Riccardo Cocciante and Laura Pausini,both versions),Lascia che io Sia (Nek radio Edit), Il Pranzo e' servito written by Bellotti and D'Agostino,Take Your Time by the SOS band,And i am telling i am not going by Jennifer Hudson,Stronger then Before by Chaka Khan, Gatekeeper by Feist,Prologue from Quincy Jones Back on the Block,Secret Garden by El De Barge and Barry White,Careless Whisper by Michael Jackson,Rule of thumb by John Scofield,La belle dame sans regrets by Sting,Shamelle by the Police,The day will come by Philip Bailey ..i am sure i am forgetting some..

Sounds Like i play what i feel and i feel different everyday
