A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible! Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song. Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart. The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Story behind the song
Wrote this song about a year ago. Is one of those songs that reminds me of just how blessed we are to be alive, have the things we have and are able to share those things with others.

Hi Mr Grant, That was a beautiful instrumental to listen to. I love how you blended all the instruments so well and at times made it even more upbeat! Let's keep in touch. I don't do music but i feel it deeply when I sing a song that I am comfortable with. God Bless You and Yours, Heleana Maria

Very nice and to smooth. The dragon lady I was married to probably would start stepping to it. I like the mix and the sound of the instruments. As I sit here along in my new home I feel thankful for the peace and quiet and this beautiful song.

The rhythm of this track is very smooth in direction and movement. The song’s structure is well organized with emphasis and enhancements inserted in all the right places. Instrumentation is spot on along with a polished mix. Stand outs includes the slick piano keyboard work and the nylon string fretwork. Kudos to another silky-smooth creation by Mr. Grant. Be ever so wonderful… -Al-
