Cascade

G reetings Friends!

We’re traversing a few private gigs this week but we’ll be plugged in LIVE next week in Rancho Bernardo at the library. Look below if you want more info.

I’ve been having a ton of fun working on my own music in the studio. My latest project is remixing our versions of Cream’s music. I’m turning up the volume and realized life is better loud. Hah!

I’ll let you know when this album gets released.

Today I’m releasing yet another album of songs that I wrote and recorded during the heyday of the pandemic. It’s called Cascade and it swings, folks, sambas, Incas, ECM’s, and jazz funk’s along merrily with the vast world of jazz flavored music.

The world of Coltrane sound continues and for this week’s single vid we bring you “My One and Only Love.” 

My brother Tripp starts this song off by playing all alone. What a tone! 

For this version of Guy Wood and Robert Mellin’s gorgeous song and we pretty much stay with the program until it comes to the bridge. I always thought that it could travel a slightly different path so I experimented with the bass movement and found some new chord colors and came up with this version. I like the surprise…

adios friends and thanks for the spin, best, Peter
