"Twelve Oh One" (12:01) is the closing track on our new CD "Tarika Blue Notebook". A swinging Jazz number, "12:01" represents "one minute into a new day" and is an inspiring and uplifting instrumental selection. The whole album includes 8 originals and a beautiful rendition of NEA Jazz Master Ahmad Jamal's beautiful composition "After Fajr"

This is an upbeat single from the blues fusion band...The C Henry Woods Troupe, featuring Charles Rahmat Woods-saxophone. A long time hitmaker in Canada and England, this band loves  a positive groove...highlighting cutting edge guitar, unique vocals, and swinging saxophone! Available for download at CDBaby.com and iTunes.  While you are there check out their single download "The Unidentified Sound"

This beautiful Jazz ballard was written as a tribute to all  family elders. It is here performed as a duo with Charles Rahmat Woods on saxophone and Glen Arnett on keyboard.

This exhilarating soprano saxophone single is track 5 from Charles Rahmat Woods'   solo instrumental album entitled "The Language of Birds". It was written in celebration of the election of Barack Obama, 44th President of the USA.

This contemporary work is inspired by the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March: Justice or Else. The music, performed by the Rahmat Shabazz Trio Plus,  provides a platform for  artistic dialogue, in this case introduced in the Choctaw language  "Greetings Friends...The number is....10-10-15 ! ", and illuminates the "Justice or Else" movement.
