My most popular Jazz Rock songs

Listen to my top 30 original Jazz Rock songs. In collaboration with the top Soundcloud jazz rock guys.

  1. Jimi Meets Miles - Hey Marcus!
    Jimi Meets Miles - Hey Marcus!

    This is the second track on the Rebirth of the Kool album. As its name suggests, it is a tribute to legendary producer and bassist, Marcus Miller.

  2. Jimi Meets Miles - Spanish Key
    Jimi Meets Miles - Spanish Key

    Spanish Keyz is the opening track on the Rebirth of the Kool album. It was inspired by Spanish Key, off Bitches Brew, but the only thing it has in common with the original is the classic trumpet ‘head’ that anchors the groove. The other 99% is brand new and highly improvised.

  3. No Hangups!
    No Hangups!

    This is another one of my original tracks. I like the muted guitar line that hold it together. It also features my first ever bass guitar solo!

  4. Nightshadows
    Nightshadows

    This track is my first (and probably last) surf music track. The twangy Hank Marvin guitar is actually played on synth!

  5. Weathered Report -  Benny Sutton
    Weathered Report - Benny Sutton

    My tribute to one of my fave jazz bands, Weather Report. Very Joe Zawinul!

  6. Only You
    Only You

    An original composition and a collaboration with the talented Vocalatti on vocals. Another popular one on Soundcloud.

  7. Head Hunters
    Head Hunters

    This is the first original track that I have posted for a year. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a tribute to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. For those of you tuned in to obscure musical references it has a bass line reminiscent of the track 'Chameleon' and some ethnic sounds like on the track 'Watermelon man' and no doubt more besides!

  8. Here, There and Everywhere
    Here, There and Everywhere

    Absolutely nothing to do with Beatles track of the same name! It's dominated by a vocoder vocal complete with multi harmonies, it's amazing how technology can make even my voice bearable! I hope you like the Stevie Wonder harmonica solo.

  9. Jake - a tribute to Jacob Collier
    Jake - a tribute to Jacob Collier

    Too soon for a tribute to wunderkind Jacob Collier? I don't think so. This is a modern Jazz funk fusion groove as a tribute to Jacob Collier

  10. Christmas Song
    Christmas Song

    Here's another of my original tracks. I'm hoping this one will get you in the festive mood?

  11. Never Here
    Never Here

    An original composition inspired by the Ronnie Laws' track 'Always There' - hence the title!. I play all instruments, arrange, produce the track. From the Back To Basics album.

  12. Tribute to George Duke
    Tribute to George Duke

    If you love the groove then George should be one of your go to guys! I love electric piano and been listening to him a lot recently for inspiration, hence the approach to this tribute track. Guitar is my first instrument and I have nowhere near George's keyboard virtuosity so please forgive the rough edges on my 'Georgesque' synth solo; it's an honest attempt at the spirit of probably the greatest technical player of our time.

  13. Pussy Riot
    Pussy Riot

    This track is for every musician who has done something dumb - like those brave Russian girls!

  14. Zanzibar
    Zanzibar

    This one has an exotic name! Another one written on synth.

  15. Byrdland
    Byrdland

    Modal structrured Nu Jazz Fusion. This track has a passing similarity with the track Birdland by Weather Report

  16. Steely Dan jam track #5 Really Steely
    Steely Dan jam track #5 Really Steely

    solo in G major and E Pentatonic. Enjoy jamming along to a track in the style of Steely Dan I always do!

  17. Brasilia - Benny Sutton
    Brasilia - Benny Sutton

    Brasilia is a latin style track featuring AJ Lewis on vocals. Ever since I heard George Duke's 'Brazilian Love Affair' I've wanted to do a Latin track. Here it is!

  18. Work It!
    Work It!

    A track I wrote for a live set, guaranteed to get your feet tapping. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a tribute to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters.

  19. Tangiers - fusion track
    Tangiers - fusion track

    An original composition that boogies along. I play all instruments, arrange, produce the track. From the One Man Band album.

  20. Shaky Ground
    Shaky Ground

    A blues/funk track featuring the astounding AJ Lewis on vocals.

  21. Who'da Thunk It!
    Who'da Thunk It!

    Bluesy, funky instrumental. A collaboration with Jamie Rhind, who did the Miles Davis style horns on the outro

  22. Hot Gossip
    Hot Gossip

    I wrote a nice gospel like theme for this one. Indeed it progresses into a real 'jump up church' groove complete with handclaps. Very Jacob Collier with some Larry Carlton guitar work

  23. Jazz@Funk
    Jazz@Funk

    Funky time! This track features Alan Corne on drums. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a Herbie Hancock's Headhunters type groove.

  24. Absent Friends
    Absent Friends

    Another more traditional jazz track from the Grooves album is Absent Friends. I was looking to swing and it seems to have worked. Basically a 12 bar blues structure I like to think it captures the spirit those early jazz groovers - the guys who were funky before James Brown, guys like Horace Silver and Eddie Harris.

  25. Hoo Yah!
    Hoo Yah!

    You can easily spot why this on is called Hoo Yah by the synth theme. Rocks along nicely.

  26. Joe's Town
    Joe's Town

    A tribute to the late, great keyboard player from The Crusaders, Joe Sample. It's an early effort so needs a remix but the fretless bass still sounds sweet.

  27. After Midnight
    After Midnight

    Starts off as a jazz rock track with horns then changes to a sweeter jazz groove. A smooth jazz groove in the style of The Crusaders with a laid back groove.

  28. Don't Say Goodbye
    Don't Say Goodbye

    This one's a bit spacey with some Larry Carlton style guitar licks!. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a tribute to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters.

  29. No Hangups
    No Hangups

    A real stormer of a track featuring Alan Corne on drums. I'm back in Jazz Funk territory again with a tribute to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters.

  30. F-Bomb
    F-Bomb

    A wild piece of jazz rock funk! I went through a very 'out there' phase on guitar. Check out Mwah (another track) if you like this one.
