Is this an official release? Edited May 31, 2018 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It doesn’t fit with the old stuff, but I’m pretty sure it’s Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly wouldn't think this was from the Vice days. Sounds like something for a S5 episode club scene/dark scene/car chase or I think also would fit perfect in the MV reboot 2018/19.

Den Taylor Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Really cool that Jan is becoming active again! With social media and the new releases. Makes you kinda wonder...I guess he figured out he's just not ready for retiring yet! Which I thought he was after he released that CC Bonus track "South Beach" a while back...which to me seemed like a pun on his retirement? (South Beach is the part of Miami where a lot of old people live, right?) But I'm glad it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(South Beach is the part of Miami where a lot of old people live, right?) But I'm glad it wasn't. He probably picked it back up as a hobby. Probably got bored in retirement at home all day, dusted off the old equipment and produced the music in his house? Musicians never really "retire", they catch the bug and are in it for life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) @Dadrian it’s ok I found tracks and did some research.. the track at 8.25 is actually a lesser known track on JHs new “Seasons” album it was a guitar snippet as they were referencing Jeff Beck at the time i thought it was from that era. But interesting the snippet at 1.51 was a 1983 co-written piece with Al Di Meola, a World music/ jazz fusion guitarist, called “African Nights” which Jan also played keyboards on (and the entire album). Jan co-produced and wrote many tracks on this 1983 Al Di Meola album titled Scenerio. Something I never knew until yesterday was that “Island Dreamer” on Jan’s 1994 “Drive” album was also written by Jan and appeared with JH producing and playing keyboards on a 1983 version which was then released in 1984 on the Scenario album by Di Meola.

Great Dadrian you have the albums and you having the ”Scenario” album you now more than likely know my next question ?!
