SHOUT is a cover, originally played by Saskia’s Favourite Trumpet Player Miles Davis. An idea of Keyboard player Kino Dido Haitsma, was to make a CLUB HOUSE arrangement of this tune which resulted in Rob Gaasterland ‘s SPEED GARAGE Version with a Daft Punk Touch, but more Seventies-like because of the Live Accompaniment and Solo by Kino on Fender Rhodes. However, the Groove actually leans on Electric ‘Slap’ Bassplayer Lesley Joseph who is already a legend of his own in Many Musical Ways. Mellow Mac’s Rap Vocals and Ghasem Batamuntu’s poetic Voice are tributing the Song to Miles, as well as Saskia, playing Muted Trumpet with a ‘Miles Atmosphere’ but still in Her Own Style.
lyrics
(Ghasem:) About Miles, Miles was a mentat, an alchemist / His trumpet is the element of iron or earth / The element of wind or air is in the actual breath / All he does is blow into a brass tube with his air / (Mellow Mac:) / He brings the highlight in the twilight zone / The Man with the Horn is gonna take you home / Leaving memories, making history / you gotta love this guy, I know you will agree / slammin with his improvisation / Miles gotta be heard in every playstation / So he ‘ll be known through all generations / bringing up a new Miles Hype Situation (Ghasem:) All he does is blow into a brass tube with his air / And he goes any place in the world that he wants to go / Miles is the Contemporary Man, very true / He has Music from every Land / That’s all condensed and synthesized into / The Joy and Happiness of the Moment / Miles says something very important about his music / Some very simple, he says: / “Why should my / Why should my music sound the same / When my telephone sounds different. / The long distance call that I made in 1945 / Sounds much different than / The long distance call that I make in 1985 / So I have to keep / So I have to keep abreast and parallel / With the technological influence / On the experience of people. / If indeed I have to be the voice / Of the creative experience of Earth” / That was indeed what Miles was, / He was the collective mind, if you would / The Voice of the Collective Mind / Of the citizens of Planet Earth
