Sandhy Sondoro - Quiet Storm, Indo Style

Out of Jakarta Indonesia is one of the most soulful cats on the planet with that Quiet Storm groove. His name Sandhy Sondoro. I first came across him in 2007 when he was living in Berlin. He reminded me of a cross between Michael McDonald meets John Mellencamp. But, Sandhy Sondoro is definitely original and not trying to cop somebody else's groove. Since that time, I've followed his various moves around the world, in and out of the U.S. and to his home in Jakarta. He eventually signed to Sony Music Indonesia and has had a long string of numerous successes and attention and collaboration from and with some of the greats like hit songwriter, Diane Warren. He is an incredibly positive, high vibration, hard working guy focused on doing what he loves and does best.

Below is a handpicked audio take of Sandhy's that is most aligned to this Quiet Storm. It is titled You and I. Turn it up and enjoy! GC

Talvin Singh - Jaan

The drum known as the tabla can deliver one of those quintessential Quiet Storm sounds if in the right hands. Just below is a recording by renowned tabla player Talvin Singh that fits into the Quiet Storm quite nicely.  The video was directed by Rob Howard. Turn it up and enjoy! GC

Bob Marley - The ultimate Quiet Storm

As a powerful quiet storm of peace, love and funky soulful reggae, Bob Marley lifted up the activist Movement of Jah People that has continued to further emerge for decades after his death.

In honor of the recent 70th Earthday, or birthday of the humble legend, we sought to pick the ultimate Quiet Storm song by Bob Marley. We found that it may be a particular mix of his song titled Exodus.

Just below is that particularly excellent mix of Exodus, without the video, because we could not find a video for this mix, yet.

The next two takes after that are stellar filmed concert performances of other songs including War, Running Away and Crazy Bald Head. Turn it up and enjoy! GC
