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..

Story behind the song
sven (syntopia) and I have been doin songs together for about 2 years now.. this hiphop trance track of his grabbed me immediately.. not the first time I just put words to his beautiful melodies and harmonized them.. his melodies bring the lyrics to my mind instantly.. i started this one several months ago.. pulled it up yesterday and just had to finish it even though i just did another new one.. hey if you got the ball you gotta run with it.. cheers and thank you sven for another awesome piece of music to do my thing to.. :-)
Lyrics
I DON'T KNOW (see the light) I don't know, why I cry I just know how I feel this world's had a tragic life.. see the light see the light see the light see the light I don't know, why I cry I just know how I feel this world's had a tragic life.. I don't know, why I cry with all the greed and hate it's hard to see the light.. see the light (let us see the light) see the light (see the light) see the light (please let us see the light) see the light I don't know, why I cry I just know how I feel this world's had a tragic life.. I don't know, why I cry with all the greed and hate it's hard to see the light.. copyright rapster SUISA 2008

Thank you Sven for turning me on to your new collab with Joe ; )) A cool jazzy and worldly tune my friends! Joe cuts loose on his guitar ; )) Nice vocals with harmonizing. Good work by Sven on the piano melody, synths, and percussion... Cheers, Bob
