Dreamin' The Dream - Short Wave File

Freedom Parkway - Short Wave File

(Short Wav File) This song features James Crab Robinson on vocals. Robinson is one of the most powerful, most underrated vocalist of all time!!! While there was James Ingram and before there was Michael Bolton, there's also Crab, who replaced Luther Vandross when Vandross' left the group Change. (also  includes Phil Hamilton on guitar, who is a member of Luther Vandross road band.

(Short Wav File) When I was driving downtown Atlanta, Georgia one sunny, beautiful day, I realized that I was approaching Freedom Parkway and it reminded me of a festive occasions. There were flags from several different countries and the whole spirit of Freedom Parkway had an Island feel, thus the steel pans and the Caribbean feel
(w/ Sharon Bryant on vocals...not on clip).

(Short Wav File) "The Ambassador" is a song about breaking old tradition, breaking racial barriers. Dizzy Gillespie did this all across Europe from the 40's until he passed on. He used music as an artform to break barriers. We must all be ambassadors to maintain peace and unity. This song is dedicated to all of the bandleaders that struggle daily to keep musicians working and flowing with the music.
