Flute,sax, keyboards create a relaxing excursion into the contemporary art of jazz improvisation
Bio / Background
Original compositions and melodic expressions highlight this studio performance by the Jazz duo of flute/saxophonist Charles 'Rahmat' Woods and keyboardist/engineer Glen Arnett.
East Coast based, leader/composer Charles 'Rahmat' Woods says: "My previous CD was a musical tribute to Jazz great Roy Haynes ('Modern Music Therapy' RAHMAT SHABAZZ #ASR020), and many of our fans asked me when we were going to record some of the original compositions we perform during our varied sets. I decided to produce some of this work in the intimate orchestration of a contemporary Jazz duo. Arnett Studios of Washington, DC met my criteria, and we were able to construct a recording that is refreshing, relaxing, and a pleasure to listen to".
About the Music:
TAHIRA AND ALI (THE WEDDING SONG): was written for the wedding of a beautiful couple. A wedding is truly the bonding of two persons...two families...two worlds.
↓ more ↓This composition represents a loving dialogue, and a hope for a joyous life of love and respect.
ELEVEN FIFTY NINE : This song represents the peace which one may feel at the completion of a mission.
LITTLE GIRL: concerns for our children's future prompted me to write this tune.
TIME IS SPACE: ...a movement of silence.
TANTANKA YOTANKA and CHIEF CRAZY HORSE: written for two of the most courageous Native warriors we know of...their stories must be remembered.
ALICE COLTRANE: this was written in honor of this great pianist, harpist, composer, and musician.
NOH CHANGE: inspired by the great Japanese drama style..with a funky twist!
THE R.H. ELEMENT: a composer's tip of the hat to master drummer Roy Haynes. This track also features seventeen year old drummer, Terence Arnett.
...I hope you enjoy the samples and buy this CD...Peace!
