Peter Sprague Plays “Had To Cry Today” featuring Leonard Patton

- Cream was a mega band that had a fairly short lifespan. That’s not uncommon and a band is a lot like a marriage - the gravity will take you towards an argument if you don’t remain humble and have your communication skills at the ready.
Cream morphed into Blind Faith and their lifespan was even shorter - one brilliant record and that was it.
“Had to Cry Today” was from the Blind Faith album and it’s a song written by Stevie Winwood. It’s been a favorite of mine for years and I had a wonderful time coming up with this arrangement featuring Leonard on vocals and a 4 piece horn section. I went wild with the modulations and one early listener said it reminded him of Frank Zappa. I’ll take it!
Here’s the band:
Peter Sprague - guitar
Leonard Patton - vocals
Danny Green - piano
Justin Grinnell - bass
Duncan Moore - drums
Tripp Sprague - tenor and alto saxophone
Steve Dillard - trumpet
Andy Geib - trombone
This song is on our album “Sunshine Of Your Love - Peter Sprague Plays Cream” now available on all streaming platforms and on my webstore: www.store.petersprague.com/ca...

Jazz rock is cool!
@@PeterSpragueMusic Duncan is the anti - Ginger, Mitch Mitchell, would be fun to see him lose his perfect timing and go off.
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
It does sound like Zappa!
You could have scored this for Steely Dan also!
That's right, Steely Dan!
Slick arrangement. Can hear some Zappa, also early Breckers. Camera angle made singer look a little like Mike Tyson, which is hard to unsee! LOL
Hah, Mike Tyson, yeah!
@@PeterSpragueMusic A singer you don't want to get in the ring with!
@@firstlast4874 Hah! That's classic!
