Big thumbs up for his sister who is one cool gal.
Just what I need, right now. RP for the win, again and again and again.....
Hit pause. Put on headphones. Turn up volume. Hit play.
Bumping this to an 8 just because of that sexy muted trumpet.
You can tell he learned a thing or two about experimenting from his genius old man - Don Cherry, an important figure in “Free Jazz,” in the early 60’s and on. Thanks for the wildly eclectic programming!
Every time this comes on I immediately think "Cool Its "I Don't Like Mondays" then it isn't and I'm ever so briefly disappointed then it's this awesome track.
Well done

Me too. Seems to be a direct lift.
That opening grabs me Wow.
This tune has this magic... that feels like I've been transported to some late summer street fest.
I'm very impressed.
Didn't I what?
Plus, that trumpet bit, mid-tune.
Mmmm.
Worth listening to for the opening lines, alone.
Standout.
That opening ALWAYS gets my hope up for Boomtown Rats

not bad. but, i would like it if it was a couple minutes shorter
The War influence is so strong. And I am digging it.

I'm not so sure there are no lyrics to this song.
I propose Eagle-Eye Cherry transandentaled themselves into my 3 year old head, when I witnessed the love of my then life, Linda, walking down the aisle of Bethany Lutheran Church.
I didn't have a lot of experience at 3, but suspected she was getting married.
I also didn't have a very good command of language, so Linda was 'Nina'
Just like this song's 'lyrics', Nina, oh Nina, Nina.
Turns out 'Nina' was just the flower girl

This should probably go on the main forum but it fits here.
I bought this this album years ago. One of the few that wasn't inspired by an RP listen. In the song he says "Nine-in-nine-ay". I live near routes 9 & 9A and the local traffic guy always runs them together in his report as "9 & 9A" and it make me think of this song. I haven't pulled the CD out for years, but here is the song on RP. It made me smile. Like a good friend would were they to select a song from my memory / past. That's why I'm posting:
This "station" and Bill's programming is akin to a long time friend. I've been listening for over 16 years and realize we have formed some sort of virtual friendship. I listen (and support when possible) and the music calls to me repeatedly and says,"Hey, check out this one..." I smile while memories flow. The new Ray LaMontagne is playing as I write this providing a new favorite to enjoy now and recall later.
Being a post-divorce music lover I glean so much strength / faith / hope from music and wanted to express my gratitude for the breadth of Bill's knowledge / arrangements. As Kurt Vonnegut once said,
"Music, is to me, proof of the existence of God.
It is so extraordinarily full of magic and in tough times in my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference."
Music is my religion. Thank you friend.

Every time I hear the opening piano flourish, I wait for Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" to start. C'mon, Bill!
kick ass trumpet !

RP oughta put on "Save Tonight" just to see what happens. It's not a bad song.
beautiful tune with a very Brazilian vibe, it sounds like Milton Nascimento or Carlinhos Brown

Nobody mentions any similarity to Stevie Wonder? I came here to actually see if it was him. I may not be the only one: The next song was "Higher Ground".

Definitely learned a lot from his papa. Definitely took it to new places too. Great tune.
The piano riff at the beginning always makes me think the Phish Shreds video is starting.

Wow, wasn’t expecting that. Very captivating
Ha! I thought this was I don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats when it started.
Another RP find ! ty Bill & Rebecca 
I love how this thing starts out so 'Miles Davis' but then shows something else entirely... Mr. Cherry is an amazing talent on the trumpet, and this track is an incredibly deep, dense journey into his virtuosity. The extremely fluid guitar and underwater bass are masterful, and the percussion cooks right along, too. It's a solid JAM

Sounds like The Sound Of Silence to me. Weird.
Thank you Bill/RP.
Your playlist has saved my life this morning…
slept horribly, driving in frantic Charlotte morning traffic…
but got the new, noise-cancelling headphones on, cool Autumn air blowing across my brow and, I’ve got my “Zen” - all thanks to the beauty of another artfully crafted playlist.

Love songs that have an opening stanza (is stanza the right word) building the anticipation, and then the anticipation is totally worth it.

first time I recall hearing this. As a bit of an audio geek the clarity of the piano and instrumental introduction caught my attention. Love the track. Only heard the name before but don't recall the hit. Will be looking this up for my collection

Followed by 'Hello darkness my old friend' (which I belated see has been commented before) when the trumpet comes in! I, like many other RPers have a left(?) brain full of musical cues which fire off often, yet I can't for the life of me remember what I came into the room for... Isn't age wonderful! Especially when you head is full of music like this!
btw this explains the common complaint that many listeners' comments refer to 'this is like' or 'this is a rip-off of...'. We just have these mental links!

Well said. Bill and Rebecca have done and still do an amazing job serving up old favorites mixed in with music that slipped by. RP is the first and last sounds of each day, I even play loss-less files during my commute. My monthly contribution is money well spent.

I haven't pulled the CD out for years, but here is the song on RP. It made me smile. Like a good friend would were they to select a song from my memory / past. That's why I'm posting:
This "station" and Bill's programming is akin to a long time friend. I've been listening for over 16 years and realize we have formed some sort of virtual friendship. I listen (and support when possible) and the music calls to me repeatedly and says,"Hey, check out this one..." I smile while memories flow. The new Ray LaMontagne is playing as I write this providing a new favorite to enjoy now and recall later.
Being a post-divorce music lover I glean so much strength / faith / hope from music and wanted to express my gratitude for the breadth of Bill's knowledge / arrangements. As Kurt Vonnegut once said,"Music, is to me, proof of the existence of God.
It is so extraordinarily full of magic and in tough times in my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference."
Music is my religion. Thank you friend.
It amazes me that people around me hear my gushing about RP and aren't even interested in finding out what I'm on about.
I gladly support and hope it never goes away.
RP broadens my world.

Wow said so well. I have come to find it impossible not to support Bill and Rebecca on a regular basis. I encourage all RP listeners to the do same. Even if you can only do a little. Sign up to support them regularly!

Great tune! Do you suppose that's his dad, Don Cherry, playing the trumpet solo? I'd imagine so.
ETA: Apparently not. According to AMG, the song is a reworking of a piece by Don Cherry and he's listed as a composer, but the trump is played by a different guy.
ETA even more: Don Cherry died in 1995, three years before this was released, so he wasn't available for the gig.

Interesting situation there for a 'memoryboxer' - and I'm with you on the "Take me to church" and what the hell...with all the love I have on this songs' comments, I have to go +1 to 9....Long Live RP!!
How curious. This began and I thought "Mmmm nice, wonder who it is?" and look over to see I've rated it a 10. Yet I have zero memory of having heard it previously and rarely rate *anything* a 10 that I'm not deeply ingrained with. But opening the comments to see if I could glean info brought me to passion8's thoughts on music as religion, and as healing balm during troubled times, feelings I deeply share. So this mysterious 10 has drawn me into this thread and the various echoed sentiments, and I'll add this to my ongoing gratitude for having been introduced to RP and Bill and Rebecca's programming. "Take me to church..."

Very well expressed passion8. I have similar thoughts and feelings regarding Radio Paradise. You have illustrated those much more eloquently than I might.

Every time this tune starts I think it's going to be The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays. Then it isn't and I am disappointed. Then I hear it all the way through and I am still disappointed. Not terrible but not worth 7.3.
Thank you RP now on my regular playlist. Wish I was home listening with dim light and a drink in my hand rather than at work. Doing a California road trip in June and this is on the playlist already.
Argh. This is one of those RP plays that, just as you're getting ready to go get in the shower or go out the door or do something that really should be getting done, when it comes on you just gotta go power up the volume and listen on in. Guess in younger days one would have rolled another one just like the other one. But f all that zombie-maker stuff. Wouldn't be prudent, nowadays.
If you mix-out the sophomoric, clichéd piano dross I'd give it a better rating.
This is just one of the reasons I listen to RP. Never would hear this anywhere else.
Thank you Bill.
Thank you Bill.

Beautiful song. I share the sentiments and appreciation for RP expressed below. Music has been such an important part of my life from a young child dancing in my parents living room to their music... South Pacific, Kismet, Rhapsody in Blue, and New Orleans Jazz. When I was 12 my cousin was moving and gave me a stack of his albums and his Zenith stereo with detachable speakers... Paul Butterfield, CTA, Wayne Cochran, Cream, Hendrix. What a foundation for a lifelong musical expedition. RP has been the perfect vehicle to continue that journey. Thank you RP! Gettin' all sentimental here. Music does that to ya.

Dang!
I have always heard his hit and did not know he was into making music like this!
Solid 8.
Thank you RP for uncovering the seldom touched by many great timeless musicians.

Sitting on my yacht in the Great Barrier Reef listening to this amazing tune, cached of course... Very few things match the colours of life that RP has provided for >15 years.

I too am smiling as I write this, now into the next song by King Crimson, a band who my older deceased sister used to hang out with and was some of the first real music I listened to as a kid. Keep the faith, all.
Passion8: I'm so glad you DID NOT post this in the general forum b/c I'm rarely there and would have missed your awesome comment of gratitude to BnR and their wonderful station. I also feel a "friendship" with RP, both the programming/programmers and the many listeners I've grown to 'know' and appreciate, like bluematrix's reply. Long Live RP!! OH...I've rated this track at 8....

Yes yes yes! I thought of Miles Davis too! Trumpet is in his style.
