Revisiting Some Jazz Fusion Tunes – Part III
These three numbers, the second of which I posted some time ago, constitute something of a memorial “suite” to my father, as I wrote all three during the months he was dying of congestive heart failure.
“Barebones”, the tune I’ve posted previously, was written when I realized he was not going to survive this time, as he had many times before when hospitalized with heart problems.
“Homecoming” was written when –as the result of a new type of pacemaker — he temporarily recovered much of his strength and was able to go back home with my mother. The day he did was a very emotional one for me. Unfortunately, his homecoming only lasted about four weeks.
“Forever in my Heart” was written shortly after his funeral.
Homecoming | Stream | MP3 |
Barebones | Stream | MP3 |
Forever in my Heart | Stream | MP3 |
I think they are best listened to in the order listed.
