This was the # 1 song on the World Fusion charts. By design, I wrote music in a variety of genres to have the trumpet be the common thread. This piece combines Funk with a Middle Eastern vibe.

This is an instrumental version of a song I wrote with Carrie Hamilton. We never got to record it in the studio so my muted trumpet is playing her vocal part. This would make a GREAT theme song for a sit-com.
