About Selena’s Song “I Could Fall In Love with You” "I Could Fall in Love" is a song recorded by American Tejano singer Selena for her fifth studio album, Dreaming of You (1995), released posthumously by EMI Latin on 26 June 1995. Bassist Samille Johnson has released a cover by the beloved music artist Selena which was very popular on EMI Latin Music Label and covered by many artists to include Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and various others. Samille Johnson’s approach to this track utilizing piccolo bass was very well crafted and approached very nicely as to remain true to the original melody. When we asked Samille how he came about doing a cover on this song he replied that it was the melody and he wanted to echo Selena’s Love to the world, to her husband and family. Finally he stated, “I NEVER FORGOT THAT DAY” when we heard that Selena had transitioned and this song remained in my heart for years.  Samille also stated that his wife thought that it would be a beautiful song for a bass player to cover but be careful. (Again as always Samille Laughed) however knew it would be a gutsy move. We think it would be a nice addition to any music library that reflects love, in which our world needs so very much these days.

I spoke to Samille about this arrangement of "Europa" (Swing Jazzy Mix) and asked him why he decided to take this approach of "Swing" instead of the slower version covered by other artist.  He gave me the Artist / Paint Brush Analogy in which the artist takes his brush and just strokes not copying anyone just letting the canvas take it all in.  (He Laughed) Sam did say he used One Drum Sequencer, One Synth, and his Piccolo Bass and it was over after a few runs.  Additionally he stated that he did not want to take any wild solos, just play the song his way but simple. Pretty interesting arrangement for Easy Listening, Smooth Jazz and other genres and sounds great turned down low or turned up loud. Sam gives credit to his Mastering Engineer "Anthony Cassucio" in New York whom simply just knows instinctively how to MASTER his electronic music. Interesting arrangement with Upright Bass, Keys, Piccolo Bass, and a very unexpected Kalimba at the end very simple Kalimba that reminded me of Maurice White. Check it out, it may take a couple of turns but it will grow on you the more you listen to it. https://www.pandora.com/artist/samille-johnson/ARPf34l6pqlVZkw   ... View more

Smooth Jazz Bassist Samille Johnson released a very interesting arrangement of the song                    "Think I'm Going Out of My Head" and he used a Piccolo Bass to play the melody. This track features "Mr. Reginald Lee" on Piano from Dallas Ft. Worth Texas, and I must say this a very interesting arrangement. I have heard a few arrangements of this song but this one is very interesting and would make a great addition to your playlist if you are into Smooth Jazz, Easy Listening etc. Here is the link on Pandora, https://www.pandora.com/artist/samille-johnson/ARfdhr3V4359XZm I think I saw it on google for about a buck, pretty cheap but worth it.   ...
