This composition is by my friend Mark Campellone, who gave me permission to create my own arrangement for posting on the Forum. I'd like you to learn a little about Mark, who turns out to be one of the most interesting people on the planet. First, he is one of the elite luthiers (custom builders of arch-top acoustic jazz guitars) in the world. There can't be more than a dozen or so others that build instruments at this level. Take a look at some of Mark's gorgeous instruments: http://www.mcampellone.com/home.htm That's the beginning. Mark is a uniquely talented guitarist as well, with a style that seems largely unrelated to any other player I've heard. Please watch and listen to something heartbreakingly beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDAdvR2ag5IIf you watched that video you found out that Mark is a huge GRETSCH fan and he turned me into one. I got a Gretsch Synchromatic to use on the tunes where I play with my thumb. You'll hear it on this tune. Finally, Mark is also a tremendous composer with a knack for unintuitive, yet accessible changes. There is never predictability in any of his compositions. He wrote the tune presented here (the title "Two Lines of Sight" is recent) 25 years ago using a 4 track cassette player and a Casio mini-keyboard: Stone Age technology, but the original still sounds great. Was there even such a thing as "Smooth Jazz" back then? I can't remember. Aleck Rand plays lead and rhythm guitars, bass, and keyboard (intro and ending only). RT artists Jeff Lorber and Franklin (Third) Richardson handle, respectively, the main keyboard work and percussion.

Smooth and cool. Lot of good stuff was preserved via those little 4 track machines. The guitar playing and tone is very nice.

Man, you are the real deal. Another great one. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding smooth jazz, could George Benson be said to be its progenitor? If so, it began back in the 70s. Your production reminds me of those days, complete with phase shifters and string synths.

Hi, Aleck ! I may be wrong but to me this sounded like ambient jazz with Wes Montgomerian type of inlays on guitar ? I just love this kind of music. The peaceful ambient mood that carries one away back to better times. Kudos to everyone involved !!::) Cheers Dani

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
