How sad, I just saw this post. We have lost a truly gifted artist. I was blessed to see him at Brian Culbertson's Jazz Festival in Napa. He performed this which is my favorite. It will truly hold a special place in my heart.

Oh. my. God. I cannot begin to tell you how LONG I have been searching for this song. No one knows the pain of looking for a song that you don’t know the artist name or of a song that doesn’t have any lyrics. As a kid, I would rarely hear this song played on the smooth jazz station. Now, as a 30 something adult, I heard it again on watercolors. I consider myself truly blessed. Now I can enjoy this song for the rest of my life. Thank you so much, and God Bless for this wonder musical offering. 🙏🏾
@charlesyeh65234 ай бұрын
Exactly! i heard this about 20 yrs ago and have no idea who is the artist then heard it on watercolors. There used to be a radio station in San Francisco that played all these cool jazz but ceased to exist about a decade ago. Totally amazing!!

Oh, we have all been through that pain. A little over a year ago, I stumbled on a tune that I had been searching for since the mid 90's. I knew the artist, but didn't know the song, so imagine my surprise when I just so happened to be listening to said artist and the song came on. I was overjoyed that I had finally solved the mystery. Alas, the uploader decided to take it down for some reason. Then it took a while to find the CD (No streaming or digital options). I bought it as soon as I could. Glad you were able to finally find what you were looking for! Blessings to you.
