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.

Hi Arlen!
Wish to join Al with my comment to your uplifting new track! It is really unmistakable your "touch" that I am listening to, the subtle borderline between Latin & Jazz expressed through the arrangement and melody!!! Another fine piece of "Grant´sche music" my friend, so nice!! Keep going on Arlen, always a pleasure to come by and listen to your musical efforts. Hasta luego amigo!! :)

Scary authentic and masterful guitarplaying in this awesome and very inspiring piece! You do runs that is close to impossible due to the expression via keys instead of strings.
Solid work my friend!
Truly loving your guitar compilations. Places you right in the middle of an atmospheric, Latin paradise. Masterful work sir!
