"Tritone substitutions at unsafe speeds." 🎹
This British keyboard wizard takes classic rock and pop tunes and reharmonizes them into burning jazz/funk/gospel arrangements that have to be heard to be believed. Incredible, man!

I heard it referred to as the "Big, Booger-filled Bill" and will no longer refer to it in any other fashion. No questions from the press at this time, thank you. 😎

The earth has its music for those who will listen,
Its bright variations forever abound;
With all the wonders that God has bequeathed us,
There is nothing that thrills like the magic of sound.

Back in 2010 I was in Seattle with my uncle and cousin going to see the jazz great Ramsey Lewis. In the lobby of the venue we were talking to the person working the counter, and my uncle, a very tall man, stepped backwards without looking, and stepped directly ON jazz great Ramsey Lewis. 😬

Happy Easter!
With all we face in our world today, here's a reminder that the story actually has a joyous ending. Just like that Sunday morning long ago did finally arrive, so it will again. Take heart and be brave. The garden tomb is empty now, and we can ALL be full.
He's alive! ❤☩☀️

We want the war horse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.

Refugees have found a home in Roanoke for decades. The Trump administration recently halted the arrival of most new refugees and funding for the programs that support them.

One of the bright stars from the diverse music scene in the Norwegian city of Tromsø has been singer and violinist Julie Alapnes. Her new album "Reinkalvria" dropped today. More rock influence, and it's REALLY good. Head north and listen!

First rehearsal of the spring season last night. Keenly aware of the old lower lip this morning, lol. Here's "the book". I love the history and heft of a band that's been around a while's folder full of charts. Many, many decades of arrangements of great music found within. 🎷🎶

"Flim and the BB's", quirky fusion from the 80s-90s. The DMP label was at the digital frontier in the 80s, taking advantage of the wider dynamic ranges. One of the first bands other than Zappa's where you could hear the crazy new (at the time) Kurzweil keyboards.
