The Nest (5:17) 10. Down By The River (5:17) Everything About You The first nine notes in this tune create a melodic phrase within a complex harmony that sounds magical to me and sets the tone for the whole album. I love the hypnotic groove of the Â? time signature. The steel drums capture the warmth, vibrancy and joy I intended to express when composing this song. Kahuku As the title implies, this song is inspired by the small rural town on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii near the site of my all time favorite body surfing beach. The 5/4 time signature is rhythmically reminiscent of the sensation I feel when I'm body surfing or simply watching the waves on the islands. Priceless A fun, funky piece with lots of harmonic movement. Abe and Will groove so hard on this one while Jeff Beal gives us a hint of Miles on his trumpet. Its one of my favorite guitar solos on the record because I played a variety of jazz lines interjected with blues inflections. Will's drum solo at the end of the song is truly one of a kind! The Big Step This song incorporates three separate feels. The first one has an open quality to it, the second sounds almost like a typical r&b groove, and the third is just downright funky. I heard sax on this as I composed it and Brandon Fields did an amazing job. I used my Fender Stratocaster to give it more of a rock edge. Brandon and I did a few nice trades towards the end. Aqua Mostly in 7/4, this tune starts with an ostinato bass pattern layered with an array of chord textures. The main melodic theme expresses this album's concept of "Aqua" because beneath the simple melody runs an undercurrent of artfully crafted and intricate harmonies. Where I Belong A romantic, soulful ballad, like the title implies ~ something you feel when its so right with someone. The use of steel drums on the melody doubling my guitar adds dimension. The way that I'm accompanied on my solo in the second half is truly divine. Sparks fly and a subtle funky groove sets in. Storm Before the Calm This one is the most complex tune of all. There are a lot of rhythms and odd time signatures, but throughout there's a polished groove. Simon Philips makes this tune sound so simple with his ability to refine complexity, delivering a sense of elegance. Brandon's skillful solo over a series of very difficult chord changes proves him to be one of the best around. Peace of Work A medium tempo, cool, funky Â? groove that doesn't quite feel like Â?. Awesome trumpet again by Jeff Beal. Dean Taba's upright bass gives a wider dimension to the bottom. Its so much fun to improvise over this because the song goes through three different transitions. Simon's brilliant drum solo towards the end is quirky and rhythmically unique. This is a real fun song to play live. The Nest This song has a majestic beginning with an upward moving, anthem-like rock (ala Jeff Beck-ish) sound to it. Mitchel Forman's moving synth solo is mysterious, exotic and purely original. I use my Strat again this time for more of a rock edge. Down By the River This is my arrangement of the haunting Neil Young classic. Originally, I intended to play my Strat to get more of a rock sound. After playing it a few times in the studio, the band's creative input led us down a whole new path producing this emotionally charged acoustic-jazz rendition. -- cdbaby.com http://rapidgator.net/file/76390d816ff30e0e64b9661204e73416/JERAQ.rar.html http://ssh.tf/fUrt4wOPJ/JERAQ.rar http://uploaded.net/file/ioqltths/JERAQ.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/3bee3e7a626606b2866f0aa5acc8c160/JERAQ320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/yfkhvE2ZJ/JERAQ320.rar http://uploaded.net/file/8e10wxyp/JERAQ320.rar
