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:

I like this one; the guitar solo slides around the fretboard like a slippery eel . . . very interesting and unusual runs.

Man, Your diverse composing and syle always brings out the best in you. Really nice texture on the guitar improv's.
Continue to "Do Your On Thing". It works well.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Nu Bop... and that solo is freakin' brilliant, as I've come to expect from you, Joe. The vocals are quite soulful and the layering is a nice touch, too.
Yeah, I'm smilin' now.
Peace,

Ein wahres Meisterwerk, von der ersten Note an habe ich mich in diesen song verliebt. ein wunderschönes lied mit einer tollen Melodie die sofort ins Ohr geht. Musik zum Träumen. In allen teilen des songs eine fantastisch gelungene mixtur aus alten und neuen Jazz Elementen. Dieser Song ist einfach nur schön.

nicely different groove thang. love the electric playing
unfamiliar scales--jazzy funky cool. And the laidback
lazy drums sound nice with the left channel guitar
enhancing the rhythmic structure. Vocals have the
HarmoniousJoeFlow.
Relaxing.
