SERIES 116 Master Sessions Of Marvin Smith Featuring CHRIS PASIN and ROBERT KOPEC

Series #116 PART 1 "BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD" THE MASTER SESSIONS Of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith Featuring Chris Pasin and Robert Kopec Folks, it's AUTOMATIC PILOT once again as you listen carefully to THE GREAT FLOW that comes from Marvin Smith. This music is so real and IN THE MOMENT that all you have to do is LET YOURSELF GO and think of nothing. Simply sit back and allow yourself to VANISH, losing all thoughts of anything that might interfere with your NATURAL GOODNESS and THE UNIQUENESS that makes you as UNIQUE as each of these three MASTER MUSICIANS. Marvin has once again picked "A CHERRY" to go on top of his ICE CREAM SUNDAE. Chris Pasin, is one of the finest TRUMPET PLAYERS that I have heard in a long time. His smooth, deep feeling is present through every CLUSTER of notes that come out of his horn. Chris has that individual sound which identifies him as one of the GREAT TRUMPET MASTERS. Marvin Smith has a way of gathering great players into his new 48 track studio on Talmadge Street in Poughkeepsie, NY. Robert Kopec has a very special sound on the bass. You can feel a genuine voice of GOODNESS and LOVE throughout this RECORDING as he blends together with Marvin's beautiful grooves and expresses himself by pulling so colorfully on his bass, voicing harmonically and driving the music along with Marvin, into a NEW SPIRITUAL ZONE, BAR AFTER BAR of GOOSE BUMP DEPTH! I Loved the way PASIN DEVELOPS PHRASES and executes them with SMOOTH FIRE that becomes easy to understand. Chris seems to have a special way of making some of the most intense statements easy for anyone to understand. The listener is taken on a MUSICAL VACATION on Series 116 of Marvin's MASTER SESSION THAT IS TRULY, "BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD". Marvin Smith has done it once again. He has put together another example of "IN THE MOMENT/ MOMENT TO MOMENT, UNREHEARSED, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE" MUSIC THAT WILL HEAL YOU. This music has such a positive effect on your ears as it becomes EAR CANDY as you listen to it. It will make you feel JOYFUL, especially if you listen to it several times as it will tell a different story every time you hear it, just the way A GREAT PAINTING SPEAKS TO YOU DIFFERENTLY EVERY TIME YOU VIEW IT. I am so delighted to be IN THE MOMENT with Marvin, Chris and Robert as I allow them to push me into such a powerful healing zone that this music represents. I feel better after hearing this music than I did an hour before listening to it. I hope you can throw away all your problems and allow Marvin Smith, Chris Pasin and Robert Kopec touch your INNER SELF! HABIB has felt so warmed over by this entire performance, loving all three of these guys playing so together. It seems ironic that the three of them played three songs and the underlying feeling has such a great breath of freshness that keeps THE SOUL FOCUSED and brings forth what I like to call "SOUND FOOD FOR THE SOUL" If a listener concentrates on NOT CONCENTRAING, BUT LET'S THINGS BE NATURALLY WHAT THEY ARE, THEN HEALING TAKES PLACE. It is so,so healing as all three of these songs have so much to say and show such a wide array of emotions throughout this Series 116 Journey. I loved the SOLAR PIECE and then, all of a sudden we're somewhere else. Things are always changing throughout this session. The solo work by KOPEC IS AMAZING and the dynamics of MARVIN'S PLAYING TURN EVERY STONE, INCLUDING ALL THE LITTLE PEBBLES OVER WITH NOTHING LEFT OUT! Chris Pasin has his own unique statements and shows his diversity on each of these tunes. I especially liked his great tone on the last tune. SUCH GREAT VIBRATIONS OF JOY COMES THROUGH THIS. IT IS ALL STATED IN 25 MINUTES OF MARVELOUS EXPRESSIONS. Yeah, SOLAR HOOKED ME RIGHT AT THE START OF THE EVENING, OR, MAYBE IT'S MORNING AND THE BIRDS AREN'T SINGING BECAUSE THEY'RE LISTENING TO THESE CATS SINGING! LOVE ALWAYS AND ALWAYS LOVE, HABIB
