I've been looking for this song off and on for years and finally realized I was spelling it wrong. After finally finding it about 20 minutes ago it literally brought me to tears! All these memories came flooding back. Life and times were so much better then...we must be thankful to God we are still here and can reminisce.
Totally agree with your sentiments. Believe me, I know the feeling of finding a song you searched and searched for, afraid you might never find it again. Glad this story has a happy ending.
There is something very special indeed about Neil's compositions & I cant quite put my finger on it .. a sort of nostalgic melancholic beauty that makes you happy ... & when he has Buzz with him ... its pure joy .
Neil Larsen. What can you say? His music--"Alborada" in particular--has an otherworldly quality that defies easy explanation. Whenever I hear this song time seems to stand still, as I pause to reflect and appreciate the sheer beauty of this musical gem. Wow!
I loved to listen to Neil Larsen, Pat Metheny and Hiroshima during the many times I flew coast to coast for work back in the 90's. It was perfect music to chill out to.
The talented very innovative Neil Larson. Yeah the 80's was a decade for effects in creative music. And Neil was one of those Keyboard musicians that loved that Syth creatively. His Syth programing and cord progressions and solos were So creative. Blending melodies and harmonies in his compositions. Great musicians on this album. Bassist Ricky Minor is on some tracks. Sax Man David Sanborn is on the Tonar track. Bassist Nate East is on many tracks. Guitarist Buzz Felton is on most tracks. Sax
Back in the day KTWV was the best station in the world!!! I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Pat Prescott and Barbara Blake. Loved listening to both, also Keri Tombazian, Talaya Trigueros, and the awesome Don Burns! Just found out today actually that Barbara Blake has passed. So bummed.
Just very cool. flowing, it just makes ya feel good inside......Never forget hearing it on david sanborn's jazz show on the radio - ran out and got it next day!!!! Still sounds as great!!!

I hope Neil ( and Buzz ) read our comments .. I have been listening since the first Full Moon album ... and to Buzz a little longer .. back to Butterfield days ... Keep on Moving was a present from my brother for Christmas .. and when I heard that second solo on Where did my baby go .... game set and match ... So ... if your reading in Neil and Buzz .... how about it .... there is more joy in there we know it .... time for another project together ? Wouldnt it be nice ? George
@KeepinBuzzy He has a melodic sense that is very distinctive. I can hear a bar of Neil or Buzz and immediately indentify them. Of course, I've been listening since the 60's, so I should be acquainted.
I can listen to this at least ten times in a row without getting bored. No matter whether I am happy or sad, it's always a good time.
I hear you. It's just too beautiful.
Bourrin4XL This is all I’ve been listening to, since I found this. So I understand where you’re coming from 😆

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
YES it is. Can't say enough about "Alborada." Too beautiful for words. Timeless.
Undoubtedly!
No doubt! Couldn't agree more. Just gorgeous.
Undoubtedly! So beautiful.
Now that's the truth!
brings back a lot of memories ... I miss this kind of music nowadays ...
Check out my Monobody from Chicago not so much Neil Larsen vibes but great new jazz/synth rock
Lo que son los Beatles,Rick Wakemam, Neill Larsen me cautiivaron al
extremo..viva jazz,el buen Rock y Soul porsupuesto 👍🎸🥁🎻🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇪
Aww man this song is too great!
That it is, brother!
There is something very special indeed about Neil's compositions & I cant quite put my finger on it .. a sort of nostalgic melancholic beauty that makes you happy ... & when he has Buzz with him ... its pure joy .
Love this and through any window.
So beautiful.
I remember listening to this with my wife on the bench in Oceanside,Ca. R.I.P. Lucille miss you.
UNDERRATED !!!!!
Beautiful song even after so many years.

Loved this song for years....excellent post
Same here.
A story without words.
+keith mallett Ain't it the truth. Truer words.... So beautiful!
Why isn’t this amazing song on Spotify
My favorite song of all time!
Could very easily be mine, too. If not number one then certainly in the running.
Not far from being mine.
One of the best keyboard pieces ever that truly excudes smooth and coolness
This song should be way more well known than it is.
One of my favorite songs of all time!!!!! Nathan East is a masterful bassist!!!
Such a nicely structured piece - Was playing along with it and it flows so nicely - Feel good song ~
I loved to listen to Neil Larsen, Pat Metheny and Hiroshima during the many times I flew coast to coast for work back in the 90's. It was perfect music to chill out to.
Amen and ditto 👌🏼
sweet! One of my fav's forever.
Definitely reflective! I love this song.
Beautiful Jazz from better days
A true masterpiece!
Alborada, Jungle Fever, Malibu, just to name a few super gems from Neil, Buzz, and co. - wow!
+Ken Williams
Cafe Pacifica too.
Aztec Legend as well.......
いや～久しぶりに聴きました！やっぱりこの音色に来ちゃいます！
本当に大好きだった？大好きな人は、本当に自分に大事な”人達”だと
思わせる１曲です。”彼ら”の”大”復活を願ってやまないアラフォ～～～～
Always takes me back to a perfect day in San Francisco.❤️

Thank you..looking for this.
Neil is a frequent visitor the the Sarasota, Florida area. I just found out he will be playing here this weekend!
This is the era when electronic keyboards became full in effect nice piece Neal and George Duke made them famous
Hammond B3
If those keyboards could only talk...what amazing and interesting stories they would tell. Made back when music MADE SENSE.
I thought I was the only one. I don't think I've ever listened to it just once.
Who could?
Not I.
Given the choice, who has? Who could?
This song is my Religion
Bittersweet memories come with this one......
This instrumental reminds me of the year 1977.
Exelente músico lo grande de el es que muy original el sonido y muy expansivo con la armonia músical.
ずっと気になってたけど探し当てられず20年ぶりにやっと聞けた。すごくいいね。
SAN DIEGO 1984 LOVE IT
Russ Freeman was definitely listening to this guy for sure.
Why isn’t this album on Apple Music or Sotify?????
@KeepinBuzzy He has a melodic sense that is very distinctive. I can hear a bar of Neil or Buzz and immediately indentify them. Of course, I've been listening since the 60's, so I should be acquainted.
やっぱりいいね。
My ol' road dawg!
I love song.I just happened to remember the title&artist,otherwise there have been no way to track it down since it's all instrument s
Smooth Jazz 93.3 WJZI Milwaukee... ---yathzee
Yeah .. Mad Dad has been a big Larsen-Feiten
fan since the days of Full Moon.
What does this song make you think of?
Neil's music was covered by Sea Level and other groups. I think that fact is acknowledgement of his song writing ability.
This should have a lot more hits.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Truly!
