I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing..
an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions, I am a jazz musician.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock.. I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a jazz musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh and innovative style of jazz..
after many years on the axe I've finally done a 2nd CD showing my style.. RAPSTER GUITARS IT.. 2.. 12 original songs and collabs featuring syntopia, margot du bois and TLT50.. order here direct:

ooooh!!!! Hey, Rapster? What a cool track. Man, everything is working 10+. Vocals are kickin'. Love the harmonies (distant). The vocals...The vocals. yea...that's what I'm talking about. Hmm... The intro kickin' serious A**. Caught me right away. Ending with the waves. Nice touch. Again, all musical elements and FX fits so well. It is to your unique talent to compose and craft interesting and music. My Man. You're one of a kind...Great Job!!! Cheers Al PS-- always inspired by your music.
