Musicians (so far): Sean Miles (Keys), Chris Bynum (drums), Robbie McDonald, guitar, Dennis Turner, bass, Greg Boyer, trombone: Brad Clements, trumpet, Eugene Chapman, saxophone.

What do you think about this track? You wanna hear background vocals on it? We’ve got a couple of names in mind but what would you call this song?

The third track was produced in collaboration with DC native Sean Miles. This is a real playful track that reminds me of a mischievous child. It bounces, it dodges, it teases. It’s the “kid in me”. Of what does it remind you? We’re looking for a vocal hook and we might add some additional instrumentation. What do you have to add to the mix?
Musicians: Sean Miles (keys), Jon Laine (drums), Robbie McDonald (guitar), Dennis Turner (bass), Greg Boyer (trombone), Brad Clements (trumpet) and Eugene Chapman, (saxophone).

Track D is a Frederic Yonnet/Sean Miles Production. This track is probably the mellowest song on the project at this point. I was thinking of adding some faint background vocals. What do you think?

At this point, Track E is my favorite. When we perform it live, it generates crazy energy, attitude and grove. Grammy-winning R&B and jazz music singer Pattie Austin saw us play this live and like the track so much that she decided to jam on it with us. Co-produced by nVme, this track has a strong hip-hop vibe so perhaps we’ll have a guest lay some verses on it. Who would you recommend?

This track reminds me of carefree Sunday afternoon. The production team of nVme provided the beats and I wrote the harmonica melody that seems to almost float comfortably on top. Are you feeling this track? What does it say to you?
