We’re very excited to release our newest original song “Called To The Sea”.
Purchase song or listen on streaming platforms
“Called To The Sea” is a Bossa Nova ballad which explores the allure of open waters. The salty air and hypnotic crashing waves have long called many to this unique environment. This song reflects the beauty of our natural surroundings and the experience of being “Called To The Sea”.
You’ll enjoy stellar performances from vocalist Oshra Sedan and Berkeley Symphony violinist Matthew Szemela. Our 510JAZZ rhythm section is comprised of Tony Song (guitar), Mark Rickey (piano), Marty Honda (bass) and Poh Soon Teng (drums).
Composed by the songwriting duo of John Vargas and David Vargas, this song features strings arranged by Stan Muncy.
Our new single was produced and engineered by David Vargas with executive producer John Vargas at 4Play Studios in Fremont, CA. Our new single was mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Shawn Hatfield at Audible Oddities, San Francisco, CA.

What They’re Saying…
A tribute to a beloved mother and grandmother, Jesusa Estrada Cerezo. Ironically the only track where the Bossa beat is almost hidden, this is the most Pop sounding and modern track on the album. Could be easily placed within the 70s and 80s R n’ B and Pop Soul of these eras’ superstars. Lovely end to an intriguing album.

Rhythm: Mark Rickey (keyboards), Charlie Channel (bass), Collette d’Almeida (drums), Stan Muncy (percussion), Jay Midnight (DJ scratches)
What They’re Saying…
A mass fusion of styles incorporating Hip Hop, Jazz and a little R n’ B but still keeping that minimal Bossa drumbeat. Experimental and in some ways reminds of me of some of Prince’s mid 80s phase with orchestration, electronics and Jazz mixes.

What They’re Saying…
A real Latin-influenced Jazz track. Brings up images of sitting on a beach with not a care in the world, not only just brought up by the title of the track. The horns and strings make this a happy little track that gives you a good feeling of well being.

What They’re Saying…
This upbeat Pop/Jazz track fills the listener with a cool, relaxed summer sensation. This time there is a Hawaiian element in the sound and you feel your head nodding to that Bossa beat and see yourself under a parasol drinking cocktails. A really lovely song.

What They’re Saying…
The album opens with a medium paced Samba crossover with a big summery vibe. It is a fun, bright and breezy number with hints of Michael Jackson (“Off The Wall” era) and Gloria Estefan’s Miami Sound Machine. D-Varg’s rapping gives it an updated appeal to younger listeners who may not have heard music like this before.
