Ujamma Santi Debriano bass

Master Dr. Marvin Smith takes over right here and puts down all the harmonics that he just heard from the Sax, Guitar and Bass and lays down one of the best drum solos that I have ever heard. Marvin swings like no other because Marvin becomes total spirit along with the other three and together, as a quartet, this group has no matches in today's 2012 Jazz World. I truly believe that this group is on their way to much more than just a Grammy Award. I think that the engineering with Andrew Greeney and the Mastering and Master Production and Engineering by Dr. Marvin Smith gives this recording such a unique, natural sound capturing all the little niceties that are sometimes missed at other studios. The New 48 track studio is using Cubase and the great ears of Dr. Marvin Smith to mix this. I am over-joyed at the results that I am hearing here. I would like to see more play on the radio of The Santi Debriano, Abraham Burton, Marvin Smith, Ronnie Ben Hur Group and I would like to see these results quickly because The Music Was Done Without Any Rehearsing. When Santi showed up at Dr. Marvin Smith's Studio in Poughkeepsie, Marvin and he were talking out in the parking lot abouy the old days that both of them had in Archie Shepps band over 30 years ago. At that time, Kenny Werner was the piano player and this tune, Ujamma was performed with Marvin, Santo and Kenny in that band. In that parking lot outside of Marvin's studio, he met the great Abraham Burton and Ronnie Ben Hur. Abraham was a Cat that I remember well, playing in Art Taylor's Wailers along with my friend and Marvin's friend, Tyler Mitchell. Well they started laighing in the parking lot about all the old days and without any pre-meditation or rehearsal, this music started to go down within 10 minutes of the four geniuses meeting and the rest is now history in the making. Damn, I feel so good after listening to this music and how beautiful it was blended and recorded that I can say that I haven't heard anything like it ever. It is so individualistic. It is the product of the love that these four masters put together as they broke musical bread at the table of Bumar Records/Compassionate Sound & Motion's 48 Track table in Dr. Marvin Smith's new personal recording studio. I am elated and proud to be a part of this project and will like to say that all musicians that experience Dr. Marvin Smith's drumming, are all brought into his personal love and musical AURA and all end up playing on the highest level that they've ever played on. Dr. Marvin Smith has an ability like John Coltrane had on all his brother musicians. Cats want to play even harder with Marvin because he makes them feel so beautiful and so free in their groove and all of them become HARMONIC DRUMMERS through their own instruments. This 10:22 minutes and seconds flies by because it is so intense,so loving and so truthful. NO EGOS HERE, JUST FOUR GENIUSES FOLLOWING EACH OTHER'S PASSION and blending all this love into a brand new musical communication. I'm lovin it so,so much. LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE...........HABIB
