I love to play piano and compose music! I listen mostly jazz/pop fusion with a bit of movie music thrown in - Sting, Spyro Gyra, Snarky Puppy, Dave Grusin, Herbie Hancock, Hiromi, Mark Isham. I hope my music reflects a bit of those amazing musicians.

Story behind the song

I decided to make a jazzy-ish arrangement of this classic bluesy tune by Bobby Gentry. It is played by my band Good Karma, featuring Cristina Battani on vocals, Bob Kammerman on Sax, Christophe Meneau on bass, and Winsor Orrick on drums. I borrowed some modern chords from Mcoy Tyner, and took the solo section from the Tom Scott version.
