Peligro Extrano (Stranger Danger) [3:13] 
Jazz metal? Nu-metal jazz? Your call. I will soon post more information on the all-star lineup that brought this music to life - and any guesses are welcome - but in the meantime, members and fans of the Wisdom clan will note that the descending-by-minor-thirds tonal centers of the main theme was stolen from "Busy Signal." Want to hear more music like this? Go to the top of this page, run your cursor over "Music," and then click on "Listen" in the sub-menu that appears. If you wish to continue with something metallic and jazzy, try "Mamajuana."

Performance

These days I'm doing most of my performing with the Rhythm Kings, either as the Acoustic Duo or with the full band. The Acoustic Duo consists of myself on acoustic guitar and vocals, and Philip Gardner on acoustic bass guitar and vocals. The full band expands and contracts as needed, but the core members are Philip, myself, Brian Connolly on keyboards and vocals, and Chris "Hadj" Hadjoupoulos on drums. Click on this link to see a current songlist. And click here to go to the Rhythm Kings web site. And read on to see our current performing schedule...

Listen to The Rhythm Kings LIVE!
