Do you know Cornel Dupree?
This song is so amazing! Cornel plays with his soul and he makes a to of space between his phrasing.

This is one my favorite records. I used to listen this album right before I go to bed. Many months. So I can retreat this song in my heart/in my head anytime without mp3 player!

Please listen to this song. Listen carefully following.
1) Bassline & chord progression
2) Drums ... time keeping & groove
3) Guitar melody & guitar solo (One hit Albert King Lick!)
4) Saxophone solo (Chord progressin.. quick IV! 1 4 1 1 ...

and more! Please enjoy this song.

I've heard it said that tone does not come from the guitar, it comes from the fingers. Clearly this man's soul is expressed in his fingers.

This is the goal!

Great blues player. My wife heard me listening to it this morning and said “yeah “ really nice.
Love the space you alluded to. And the tasty bends.

Great choice! I have the CD. Nice that Bernard Purdie, who plays with Tomo on the "Pure" album, is on drums here too.
David "Fathead" Newman producing and all saxophones. This is the last song on the album.
I will happily be deep listening this weekend.
Thank you Tomo.

Im interested in expanding listening to his other work but want to learn teasin album more first. Very happy you suggested this track to look at closely and funny as I had this on my record player when you sent.
Blue sky is awesome! I like how all of the cds are different. Right place right time jams hard and has a lot of attitude. I’ve listened to pure the most probably but they’re all amazing just depends on the mood

I would love to post more amazing artists & amazing songs! There are a few albums that everyone really should know. Like... Donny Hathaway "Live" Album.

Thank you so much!
Right Place, Right Time was produced by my former manager so I didn't even say anything on mixing. Pure is amazing to have Steve Gadd, Will Lee... Bernard Purdie who played on Teasin' and Steve Jordan!

Thank you for sharing these artist names! Donny Hathaway live will check this out.
Had no idea on Bernard Purdie also on teasin record and pure. Was just scrolling the list of famous artists and albums Steve Jordan was on and also Will Lee Steve gadd played with. Takes awhile to get to the bottom… That makes sense, right place right time sounds different than the other cds! A lot to study and listen this weekend. Been listening more than playing lately but then when I practice am so inspired

You're very welcome! This way, you can apply Ear Training & Essential theory and transcribe these songs. Song form, chord progressions, bassline, melody and chords.

My Pure album:
1,2,3, performed by Steve Gadd & Will Lee
4,5,6, performed by Bernard Purdie & Will Lee
7,8,9, performed by Steve Jordan & Will Lee

Please enjoy!
Thank you.

Lucky you Jeffrey! Important addition to your library. Way to be kind to yourself. I love having a book in another language. That Etude book is pure gold! The CD alone is incredible. It is in the rotation here with his other albums we scored! Listening to great music inspires me when I play too!
