This melody reminds me of something you'd hear in 1970s soul jazz. I didn't realize it until I heard the playback. Then, as I was adding the harmonies I was trying to channel the vibe of how they would sound if it was part of George Benson's "Breezin'" album.
Breezin' was written by Bobby Womack. Thought I'd put that out there, as I don't think a lot of people know.
I made a conscious effort to keep my solo minimalist as a foil to Daniel's (the pianist.) I wanted to see how much I could say with just a few notes. I like how it ended up taking the song in a whole new emotional direction.
I can picture this song in as the smooth, funky, and jazzy elevator music in a 1970s movie like, Shaft.
It features Anthony J. Lewis on bass, Daniel Cowans on keys, and (of course) myself on flute. The beat was created by Timian, and was filmed in his Toronto studio timianmusic.com/
I have decided to make a few of the SoulScape episodes available for download. Since we evolved from the original premise of SoulScape (which was snippets of song ideas) to full songs I have had some people ask for that option. The SoulScape Album is being hosted on Bandcamp. It will be an ever-evolving album so check back now and then.
Thanks for the support! It allows me to continue making these.
