Just found my video of the late Kenny Rankin's appearance at a free Jazz on the Plazz concert in Los Gatos Town Plaza. I haven't heard the studio version (from Hiding in Myself, 1990), but I fell in love with this song. Written about Gerardo Velez (1947-), percussionist with Spyro Gyra, by his friend, Kenny Rankin (1940-2009).
I would love it if someone would post the album version. This is an amazing tune--he really nailed it!!!

As a musician, I called Kenny's record company (Little David ) to see if I could buy his music. They sent it to me free "with their Love." This generosity was emblematic of this wonderful man/musician and the extraordinary recording company he worked for. He is deeply missed by those who knew and loved him........

This is my new go-to video when I've had a bad day. Like I'm back in LA, it's the 70's, and I'm with an old friend I've lost touch with, seeing Kenny live... Thanks, alastairdallas!

Kenny was one of most outstanding musicians I ever heard. I follow his music from those days in Midnight Special in 1975 until now ... I've got all his album and it's a real pleasure to hear this "horn voice with a soul " as somebody described his voice . We miss too much Kenny . thanks for all the gift of your music . Thnaks Alastairdallas for the post . Cheers from Chile ....
