SPECIAL EPISODE: "WHAT'S UP!" - Robert's New Compilation Album Featuring 10 Of His Recently Released Singles. Instrumentals And Vocals; Jazz, Rock, Pop And Fusion!
Episode 574
THIS SPECIAL EPISODE introduces “WHAT’S UP!”, my new compilation album featuring 10 of my recent singles. The songs run the gamut from instrumentals to a few vocals, and they cross genres from Jazz to Rock to Pop and Fusion.
This episode features excerpts from the songs.
“Rough Rider” captures a cool, 1960s, Spaghetti Western kind of vibe. You can almost picture Clint Eastwood giving it to the bad guys.
“Day At The Races” is a fun, upbeat number that reflects the thrills and chills of the racetrack.
“The Rich Ones All Stars” features 8 World Class musicians who were all guests on this podcast: Billy Cobham (drums), Randy Brecker (flugelhorn), John Helliwell (sax), Pat Coil (piano), Peter Tiehuis (guitar), Antonio Farao (keys), Elliott Randall (guitar) and David Amram (pennywhistle).
“Lovely Girlie” is a fun, upbeat vocal song featuring John Helliwell of Supertramp on sax and Tony Carey of Rainbow on the organ.
“Moon Shot” is a firey Jazz Rock Fusion number featuring 5x Grammy winner Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy and The Fearless Flyers on guitar solo.
“The Cut Of The Knife” is my homage to jazz legend Dave Brubeck and his hit song “Take Five”, and it features Kerry Marx of the Grand Ole Opry band on guitar solo.
“Sostice” is a sax driven number that was going to be called “Solstice” until my engineer screwed up the spelling and I loved the nonsense word that he came up with.
“Saturday Morning” is the other vocal song in the collection. It’s a positive, upbeat song with a reggae beat about the pleasures that we get from everyday events in our lives.
“Lou’s Blues” is my Jazz Fusion tone poem. I wrote it in the studio and we recorded it in one take.
“The Gift” took my love song ballad and was transformed by Michael Abene, Grammy winning arranger, into a big band samba. That’s me and my band mates as the rhythm section.
Thank you for listening to this podcast, and to my music. Keep on Rockin!
