STEPHAN OBERHOFF Hi Ene by Stephan Oberhoff
Thanks for listening!
This is a cross-section of my CD, "CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER", showcasing especially the uptempo and high energy songs in a short 4 minute demo! Ok, now what are we listening to?
TOP: The soundclip HI ENERGY MUSIC MIX features in its first section myself on the fabulous Yamaha concert piano I used for the (more commercially oriented) starting number, "SMOOTHJAZZ WITH A SHARP STICK".
You are listening to my buddy Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets) on bass, Kevin Ricard on percussion, Dennis Farious and Katisse Buckingham spicing up the horn section......
NEXT:
Hear these Take Six-inspired vocals? That's Kimaya Seward (Hiroshima lead vocalist), Terry Bradford (fantastic gospel artist) and myself on multi-part vocals, "question-and-answering" with the fabulous Gerald spikes on Saxophone.
This song, "NOW THAT YOU FOUND ME", breaks into a classical, cello-driven section which gets totally visual later on in the song, but I could not feature all the highlights in this short soundclip....sorry..
NEXT
ahhhh- fun time for funky fingers, that's the smashing muted trumpet solo of Dennis Farious, supported by (THE) Paul Jackson, Jr (!) on electric guitar...UNEXPECTED MOVE's bass and drums are programmed and I am playing the rest of the keyboards... ;-)
NEXT
My most experimental "fusion"- tune on the CD: "BIRD SPEAK"
That's Tom Brechtlein (Chick Corea) on drums, Jimmy Haslip on (murderous) bass, check out his solo at the end.
The melodic material is played by Mike Miller on electric guitar and myself on Moog Synthesizer, and, last but not least, there's a very hot "duel" of percussion and drums ;-)
You can download each tune separately (or together at a discount) at I-Tunes by pasting this into your browser:

About Pasadena, California
All my life Pasadena has been the home of the Tournament of Roses Parade. Believe me, in January when it's cold and dreary where I live, Pasadena has looked many times like paradise. And, I do like to watch. At parade time, there's something unusual onscreen and everyone wears one layer of clothing to boot. Comfort certainly defines paradise for me. (I guess my response played right into the hands of the originators of the parade, eh? But, a good idea is easy to recognize.)
So, Salut Rose Bowl Parade!! That’s what I've always called it. And, even better, the 1970s came and brought Pasadena the Doo Dah Parade, a satire on the Rose Bowl Parade. Participants include a barbecue marching grill team and other silly groups to pay attention to. Sounds ideal to me. I’ll laugh.
Once upon a time there were grand homes along Pasadena’s South Orange Grove Boulevard, but they were replaced by apartments and condos. However, the grounds are still well kept. This modicum of decency is unheard of back east. When grandness goes, often so does pride in upkeep. But, not in Pasadena. Yay!
Parrots are important in Pasadena. They like the cedar trees.
Many cities has sister-city affiliations with other cities in the world and so does Pasadena. Uniquely Pasadena also has a "friendship agreement" with a Japanese city, Kasukabe. The distinction from sister city isn't clear, but each city does send delegations of citizens to the other city. They alternate years, though. Sounds ideal again.
Sadly, Pasadena may have lost the Emmys this decade, but they gained the Miss Teen USA pageant. It’s still show business, though. And, speaking of show business, Jack Larson is from Pasadena. (Hey, Jimmy! Where’s Clark?) Finally, after show business is said and done, let’s not forget CalTech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There are both beauty and brains together in the same "neighborhood."
