Holiday Jazz Track Feature: Michael Dulin-We Three Kings Track

If you ever feel like you’re in the mood for some solo piano music with jazz and the Holiday spirit, look no further than the latest track from Michael Dulin covering the timeless classic “We Three Kings.”

It is one of my personal favorites because of its melody and meaning. To hear it performed with singularity and with such elegance is another treat for the senses.

The cover art, with its regal gold crowns and seasonal colors, alongside Michael, looks like a Christmas card. And how perfect is that, considering what the artist is trying to convey through his fingers?

With each successive track release, Michael Dulin has captured my attention. His ability to include every intricacy of the music and meaning takes a song to another level of sophistication and enjoyment.

“We Three Kings” is a reminder of the importance and meaning of a holiday and of how music can mold and shape it within a non-typical genre while still maintaining its essence. Michael Dulin has succeeded in doing that.

Rock Track Feature: Peppos-Jones Band Title-Gotta Do’s

https://www.sonicbearmusic.com/

The do’s and don’ts of life are learned at a very young age. As we mature and take on responsibility, some things need to be done, and some need to be done daily, and they become the “Gotta Do’s.” To take it to the next level, once a man grows up, gets committed to a woman, and then marries her, it becomes the Gotta Do’s amplified. Or should I say honey do’s as in a list?

The Peppos-Jones band decided to make a song about this very subject, titled, you guessed it, “Gotta Do’s.” The lyrics, while humorous, resonate with the daily struggles we all face. If you have a sense of humor, you’ll find that some of it is very true to life.

Additionally, they put the “Parental Advisory” sticker on the cover art. This sticker, commonly used in the music industry to warn listeners of explicit content, was a humorous touch by the band (in my estimation). Now, by today’s standards in film and music, that probably would be ignored. However, out of respect for listeners with children, this was appropriate.

All that aside, this is a great rock song with fun lyrics.  Some bluesy rockin’ guitar and vocals fit the lyrical content perfectly.  Here is one verse as an example; I would suspect it’s meant for those who have experienced the challenges of adult life, regardless of age.

Here is an example of the lyrics of one verse:

Wanna watch the game but I gotta cut the grass

Pulled on the cord it broke and I fell on my stupid ass

Wanna stop taking this plethora of pills

Instead I gotta stop and pay all these friggin bills

The lyrics are mildly abrasive, and I found them amusing.  But that’s me. The main point is that, musically, it is excellent, and the production values are superb.

Peppos-Jones Band not only knows how to have a good time but also how to create a track that listeners can relate to. In the end, that is what it’s all about when you release your music to the masses.

Stephen Peppos and Bob Jones met in 1966 while attending Granby High School in Norfolk, VA. They soon formed the band "The New Directions". They recorded a song Louis Jones wrote for the band to perform called “Springtime Lady.” That song is now considered a favorite Garage Psych classic.

Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis) - Peaceful Return

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Peaceful Return” serves a specific purpose in his meditation exercise. This track is designed to guide the individual who has been using the music and frequencies to open and heal the chakras into a gentle, gradual awakening state, providing a clear and informative transition.

Notably, the beginning is absent of the bell chiming, indicative of a starting point for meditation. The piano begins as other instrumentation is added quickly, including the pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads, and strings. This is in addition to the singing bowl that you have become accustomed to hearing in previous tracks, which have been instrumental in guiding you through the meditation process.

The tempo is quite different in this track as well; it has a more rhythmic base and stronger orchestral movements, which are meant to engage you. These elements are specifically designed to energize the listener and guide them back to the waking state of consciousness.

It is indeed a “Peaceful Return” to consciousness and a most beautiful and healing way to do so.

Peaceful  Return Artist Notes:

Often, a “wake-up” song at the end of meditation is used to gently transition our mind from a state of deep relaxation or focus back to the usual waking state. Its purpose is to help avoid startling your brain, making the transition smoother, and ultimately to reinforce any positive feelings or insights gained from the meditation.  This song is almost entirely orchestral and is explicitly composed to nurture feelings of inner peace and contentment, combining that with the incredible magnificence of our innate human right to claim.

Instrumentation: Piano, pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, timpani, cymbals, orchestral chimes, crotales, bar chimes.

Just two short weeks after the release of his first album, Extasis, in 2019, Allan experienced another quantum leap in life: a heart attack. He emerged from his double bypass surgery with a newfound appreciation for music. The intricacies of instrumental collaborations alone brought new meaning to Allan in the art of creating music. Since then, his focus has been solely on instrumental music that is not only ambient but also uplifting and positively empowering.
