“One of the great lessons I have experienced, is that all truly great artists seek to plumb the depths of the Soul in an effort to express that which defies form. They seek to make known that which dwells in secret within their hearts.... and if the seed of love has been planted within them, they become a channel for this love to flow through, reaching out to touch the listener. Whispering unformed gems of love, music has the power to lift one up, or to carry one within, to the very heart of love,where there is found the self, the true self, Soul, and the Golden Pathway to the heart of God.”

LOVE ALWAYS... ALWAYS LOVE,
RODNEY

Hey Dear Friends -

I just added a video of a 1999 TV show that I did playing Round Midnight.

Enjoy and Safe Journeys,

Rodney

Some of these writings were on my website before and, well...they are back. Enjoy!

Safe Journeys,

Rodney

Dear Friends -

Welcome to the new year 2009. This is a moment of unlimited possibility and adventure. One of my most profound core experiences in my life is this, "Everything in life happens for us, nothing happens to us". That is my own life experience. I always ask myself, not just, what is happening in my life but, what does what is happening in my life mean".

I look forward to really developing this website to its fullest potential and making it a warm and welcoming place filled with gems of music and Spirit. Thank you for your presence here.

With love and blessings,


Rodney

The Journey of Soul is a collection of 15 new tunes written, produced and recorded by me. This is music that is dear to my heart and is a window into my journey of Soul. The music is intended to act as a doorway into a larger room of love, to be a place of love and connection of the heart. This is a CD where I did not record what I wanted to say, I recorded what I wanted to hear. I offer it to you in with love and blessings. May it help to lead you to where you are going.

From My Heart,

Rodney

Dear Friends -

I have posted a new video slideshow.

No act, done for love alone...is ever lost.

Safe Journeys,

Rodney

For the awakened heart...

For those of you who are guitar heads, I put a sound file of myself playing rhythm changes in the Outside Sounds Section of the website. Let me know what you think. This is not your Bebop Formula sound that so many play. Enjoy!

I would like to thank each of you for your time spent on this website. This place reflects my journey, my life. I know that many of you will come here because you are familiar with my life and work as a jazz guitarist and musician. Some of you will come here because you resonate with the spiritual journey which is mine and how that truly is the matrix upon which my entire life rests. Some of you will come for both.

What is here is my truth, my journey. Your truth and journey will be different and are equally valid.

I believe that each of us are on own own unique journey to awaken to who and what we are as spiritual beings, and to realize our relationship with God. All that I write here has this truth in the background.

There are many tools and teachers to discover along the journey through life. In my writing, I share my path. It is my deepest desire that you find and live your path, your truth. In doing this you may discover that you are a beautiful shining Soul, who is a spark of divine love, and you have never been alone, for love's presence has accompanied you each step of your journey and always will.

Safe Journeys... from my heart,

Rodney
