Rob, Lee and Clay - This World
Rob Kohler, Lee Kohler and Clay Green
THIS WORLD is a trio of accomplished, gutsy musicians playing a rich and original combination of classic rock sounds and rhythms, world music, and hymn-like harmonies. LEE KOHLER'S classical training, ROB KOHLER'S jazz experience, and CLAY GREEN'S multicultural percussion set-up interact to create an honestly distinct music. The CD, THIS WORLD, combines musical talent with Native American singers, children's voices, and soprano saxophone. Mixed by Grammy award-winning Cookie Marenco and recorded at a rural Montana studio, the CD is proof that great musicians can collaborate to make great music regardless of geographical location.

On the 1996 This World trio CD, brothers Rob and Lee Kohler, bass and keyboard, and Green, percussion, mix their own sounds with Native American singers, recordings ofyouthful joy, and soprano saxophone, to add rich layers of sound and meaning to the trio Mixed by award-winning producer Cookie Marenco, the quality of this recording matches the players' abilities. Lee Kohler writes lyrics. His extensive organ and classical piano training are evident in his composing and playing, combining the traditional with his own concept. In 1989, he led the trio to the Montreux Music Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. Rob Kohler has a distinctive solo voice, and is an aggressive bass player, evidenced by his Who's Who jazz experience at the Stanford jazz workshop, where he regularly works as a bass instructor. Green is an exciting composer and percussionist. Often the sounds of his drums explode and whisper in the same song.
Beyond the Beyond

BEYOND THE BEYOND©
by Lee Kohler

like the stars out tonight
thinking of you
as I write
we've come this far, this
time together
the future holds
our time, forever
thousands of years
watching this planet
millions of eyes
watching our movements
and our lives
the process of growing
continually applies
knowing this then
arise, great warrior, arise
thousands of years
watching this planet
millions of eyes
watching our movements and our lives
as I reach
not wanting anything at all
but to seek and grow on
as I reach for beyond the
beyond
