haven't posted any new music lately because I'm saving it for the release of the full project. But I worked on a bunch of instrumentals this summer, checking out some new vibes while engineering new sounds and moods. Here's an instrumental that I built off a Brian Blade sample from a Wayne Shorter composition. The bridge of the tune turned out real dope and fierce. Of course I had to take a little synth solo at the end...

Kentrell Band
The other night I had a rehearsal downtown with some other talented Chicago cats for this new Jive R&B Recording artist Kentrell, and it was tight.
The music is a contemporary take in the spirit of Prince and Michael Jackson, and the artist is legit. Yeah, I know, there are plenty of R&B "artists" out there today that just can't really put on a live show without gradually undressing themselves but this cat is legitimate. Check him out on his website.
One of the charts we played was his single "Encore". It works real well live cause its guitar heavy. We flipped it a bit, which is the case when you're playing most charts with a band. If any of you can make it out to the shows to peep I definitely suggest it. I'll let you know about the gigs as they come about.
