Listen to my top 30 original Smooth Jazz songs. In collaboration with the top Soundcloud smooth jazz guys.
If you like Chaka Khan you’ll like this new R&B composition – it’s all about how a song becomes 'our song'. If you’re familiar with the classic jazz standard ‘My Funny Valentine’, you’ll understand.
This is a collaboration with two very talented, original, and distinctive artistes - Vocalatti on vocals and Mark Dorricott on keyboards. It got 135,000 plays in 6 months on Soundcloud! That should put me top of the jazz charts!
A song about life, love and the universe! – given a modern, nuanced big Diva treatment by the talented Samantha Blanchard on vocals.
This one gets very 'heavy' not very 'umble! Sounds a bit dated but still chugs nicely
Music for driving along the pacific coast in California! Knowing me you might think the title has something to do with Miles. Not at all. More like Yellowjackets' track 'Mile High'. For full Miles Davis discography click here
I love this easy listening track. It's mostly instrumental but has a short chorus that features Inna Walters on vocals
Original track featuring Benny Sutton (guitars) and Michael Herndon (drums). You can guess from the name I was in Steely Dan mode when I created this!
Sun, sand, beaches and jazz! The nearest I'll get to a jazz cruise. in the style of Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Vulfpeck
A tribute to a great Keyboardist, George Duke. He really had the groove down like no one else and the track Smiley Face took his 'it's on' from George Dukes After Hours album as a starting point.
Schooldays - the best days of your life! This has nothing to do with the Stanley Clarke track of the same name.
Closest I have got to writing a movie soundtrack! This is all keyboards, no guitar! Feel free to use this for your project, just give a credit.
This track has nothing to do with the Miles Davis track of the same name. There's a scorcher of a guitar solo on Naima (if I say so myself). with some Larry Carlton guitar work
A homage to the Miles Davis track 'In a silent way'. I wrote this one feeling very chilled, the original was written by Joe Zawinul
Nicely R&B with the longest solo on any of my tracks. Later re-recorded with Vocalatti (2014)
This one chuggs along nicely and has two solos for the price of one! An older track from 2011 it still holds up.
Smooth melodic jazz blues guitar instrumental 80 bpm. I hope it evokes a wistful vibe, almost in the smooth jazz vein. There's a grand tradition of guitar instrumentals like Sleepwalk which Larry Carlton covered.
A Nu Fusion instrumental that has a bite. Rally to this one! It's in the style of Jacob Collier, Vulfpeck with some Larry Carlton guitar work
The title says it all about this track! very simple piano, guitar drums.
A laid back tune with one of my favourite solos. This song became 'Where were You?' in 2014 with a vocal by Vocalatti.
A jazzy instrumental. One of my first attempts when I took up music again in 2010. A bit old but worth a listen still.
One for the age of austerirty! Although written in 2011 I suppose it is a relevant as ever now?
This one has a bit of flute (synth), an instrument I don't like usually. The solo is a long time coming but well worth the wait!
This track could do with some real horns but still enjoyable!
