In this project, the wind is king.....
ON SHORE FLOW was written for the weather phenomenon that is a frequent and welcomed visitor to Southern California. The OSF carries cool winds from the Pacific Ocean, and seem to rescue the region from the dry, desert heat. The Flow is one of the reasons for the great year round weather and laid back style of So Cal. A FEW MILES WEST is a duet combining the syles of the late Wes Montgomery and Miles Davis. This is a homage piece to these two creative giants, who have influenced myself and so many others. OLD FLAME is a guitar, piano duet with a late seventies Jazz/Funk motif. The arrangement is like a conversation between two ex-lovers reminiscing, each with their own version of the relationship.
↓ more ↓The official definition of the JETSTREAM is a long narrow meandering current of high-speed winds blowing from a generally westerly direction. In this title track, I envisioned riding those winds in its travels from place to place, which is characterized by different colors and rhythms. The title SOUTHLAND is a reflection of the fact that I have lived most of my life in the southern region of some state or country. South African flavor is added to this track as twist that I hope you will enjoy. ABOVE THE CLOUDS was written as a celebration of flight. The military cadence in the bridge section is reminiscent of my Air Force Band days. DESAFINADO is my favorite of Jobim's compositions. As a departure from the past arrangements, this is a version for those special, romantic moments.
In music, there are only twelve tones and a group of beats. In our imagination, however, the sky is the limit.
Enjoy your flight. . . . . . . .
-Kenny Brooks
Kenny Brooks is a premier Guitarist/Composer/Arranger currently residing in the Inland Empire of Southern California. For over twenty years, he has performed with numerous R&B, Jazz and Latin ensembles. Kenny has recently focused his musical energies on his own compositions.
The result is smooth, cool grooves with great instrumental arrangements lead by melodic guitar playing. His thoughtful, "sound portrait" approach towards "Smooth Jazz" compositions sets him apart from his contemporaries, which is evident in Jetstream, his second release.
You can hear a number of influences in Kenny's music; Earl Klugh, Barry White, Pat Metheny, George Benson. Fans have found Kenny's approach to the jazz guitar instrumental is refreshingly addictive. Kenny can also be heard on an earlier independent release "Off Shore".
