This is the one that started The RT Project. My friends Joe Gothard and Duane Tribune opened the door to me to get involved in writing music for TV, Film, and advertising. Duane and I thought this track was too good to lay under some dialogue in a scene so we  developed it and Sandy Shore at Smoothjazz.com inspired us to put it out!!

After over a quarter century playing America’s hottest jazz festivals and backing the Smooth Jazz elite as core members of the super-busy and acclaimed jazz/funk ensemble Urban Jazz Coalition, bassist Phil Raney and guitarist Duane Tribune venture off on an exciting, equally engaging and funky side excursion they call The RT Project. Providing the perfect motivational soundtrack to the new year, the duo’s tasty, upbeat debut single “Lifted” features electric guitar driven fire and fluidity riding over a tight, bouncy groove, caressed with dreamy synth atmospheres. This is a certifiable hit!
