I'm back and ready to plug in with some new music projects. Thank you everyone who has supported my memoir. If you haven't picked up a hardcover, Kindle, or Audible please do! www.amazon.com/Roots-Rhythm-Music-Charlie-Peacock/…. BUT, the reason for this post is to tell you about a new song and video premiering in in just a bit at 5PM CST. Watch the official music video for the live performance of "Promise of Fellowship Kept" by the Charlie Peacock Quintet, featuring: Brian Blade (drums), Jeff Coffin (saxophone), Scott Mulvahill (DataBass: upright bass, samples), Roger Smith (Hammond B3), and me (Fender Rhodes electric piano). This is such a special project featuring some of the greatest musicians in the world. And, you have to see Scott's upright bass to believe it! He plays bass and triggers some otherworldly sounds we worked on together. I hope you enjoy it do please so your beautiful things with likes and comments. You know how much it helps us to make a living here on YT. Peace to you all.

Hello YT friends, in prep for my new album release (8.30.24) and memoir (2.04.25), we are reimagining the look of the Channel. BTW, grateful to all of you and your support and welcome to all the newcomers! Because I'm both a record producer and a solo recording artist on my own, there are all kinds of music to be found here over a big span of time. You can check out my own singer-songwriter and jazz projects, and many artists that I've produced. I need your help with something while you're checking everything out: Please be active with listening, watching, liking and commenting. If you're like me, you're probably tired of YouTubers saying this. I get it. But we truly are at the mercy of YT's algos. So rather than despair, I'm just asking for a solid from you all. That's it. Enjoy the latest single "Turtle in a Chinese Food Box" featuring the legendary harmonica player, Charlie McCoy (Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel) — https://youtu.be/5xPftcx0kZU?si=O5swq... Peace to you.

Hello CP Channel folks, it's Video Tuesday—like and comment please! Thank you. University life is underway once more just down the street from our home. "DoriChromoDomo" is a composition written for the Lipscomb University Jazz & Improvisation Workshop, filmed and recorded at Blackbird Studios, December 6th, 2016, featuring clinicians Matthew White (trumpet) and Jeff Coffin (saxophone).

Add your name and opinion to our upcoming book launch here: b395x2fqrf4.typeform.com/BookLaunch

The class was taught by drummer/artist Marcus Finnie and myself. This was an end of semester treat for the students to work in a big-time studio with some amazing clinicians. The name of the composition is such because it was meant to be a study in dorian modes, chromaticism, and dominant V chords. There’s some difficult stuff in here and they rose to the occasion! If you have or know of a student musician looking for a commercial music program, please consider the Lipscomb University School of Music and the Commercial Music Program—all within the College of Entertainment and the Arts.

Greetings YouTubers, friends and fans. 🎶 Exclusive Release Alert! 🎶

🎧 Dive into a bit of nostalgia and listen to CP's soulful rendition now. Please subscribe, comment, and like.

Now to the video! "“Big Man’s Hat” was nominated for Rock Recorded Song that year and I was asked to play a minute and thirty second version. No matter how much we kept cutting out we still didn't get it to be exactly 1:30. Honestly, this is definitely the strangest version of this song ever recorded! The lyric never really gets to the point of telling the listener what the deal is with the big man’s hat. Well, they were making a TV show and running a live event on a very tight clock—so I don't think logic played into it. Still it's very energetic, which is especially amazing to me since 12 hours before this broadcast I was sick in bed. I do remember casting Eric Darken to play marimba, which I’d never used on the song before (though it was a big part of the song “Lie Down in the Grass” thanks to Bongo Bob Smith). I thought a marimba would look very unique visually, still sound good, and likely not be something this audience had seen or heard before in rock performance. Purple suit contrasted nicely with Aaron’s yellow Sonor drums!" ENJOY!!

This was the project that helped me see there was a future for our family in Nashville if we were ready to leave Sacramento. Many thanks to Dan Russell who advised MB to get with me and Peter York at Sparrow Records in LA made it happen. MB was a total pro and fantastic to work with. That album was my first Grammy nomination for Rock Gospel. Thank you MB! Nerd alert below—credits and more credits. #sacramento #nashvillemusic
