The Gentler Way isn't always the easiest to express if we're all wrapped up in reaction to circumstance....but it's often a much better one. π
There's enough dissension and plain old violence in both our inner and outer worlds these days. So let's round the edges and take the high road. π Life is hard enough without adding to all the noise.
May you enJOY this calm and relaxing track and Stohwasser's sweet and sonorous Sax playing.π

one of reflection, remembrance and thankfulness.
And... i had no idea it was even being recorded.

All Time FavoritesTransformationsI hope you will inJOY immersing yourself in this recent Improvisation. It was a Transforming Journey that began by "Skate-Boarding down A Celestial Highway'. At least that's what 'Jools' @joolselphick said. π
And i can tell you that this Improv led to a place I've never been before.
So Look Up, and Let LIFE hold the wheel!
For "Powerful and Strong it is!
Man's enemy or man's friend." π

All Time FavoritesDig That Mighty FlowHere's a Mighty Flow to groove with, my friends; a searing BiG Band piece that powers on like a Lava Train deep into the night and outta sight. :)
"All Aboard!"
Try listening at a Moderate volume first, as I couldnβt quite get the mix anywhere near where I wanted it. But I truly hope you will InJOY the ride.

All Time FavoritesWhat We SaidThis tune is about 'What We've Said' ... to ourselves and others whilst to-ing and fro-ing in this ol' world. I hope you pick up on the underlying self-deprecating humor in the music. ;)
This also includes what we've expressed non-verbally in the moment, to ourselves and 'others', whether via thought, feeling, or through those invisible cords of connection shared with friends and loved ones around the globe.
That said... here's my latest 'Sound Seed', an upbeat bluesy Piano Improv that came through while jamming with a few friends recently.
So put on yer Tap shoes... and inJOY! :)

All Time FavoritesFrom Solstice To SolsticeHere's a little something I've been working on to celebrate the Solstice.
Change is one of the only things we can really depend on in this ol' world. And it comes either suddenly, or via cycles and seasons.
The best strategy, as far as I can tell... is to simply inJOY it! Yeah... kinda like just Groovin' with the Music! :))

All Time FavoritesIts Something like ThisHere my friends is a recent Piano Improv in which i seek to describe a life-experience that elicited feelings more intense than happiness, or even Joy; like the inexplicable emotions felt at the birth of one's first child; or one of those deeply transformational experiences that seem to expand out forever.
An impossible thing perhaps...
but ...
Here it is,
and... 'Its Something Like This'.

All Time FavoritesBlues for PaigeHere's a tune i wrote for my true and dear woman.... Paige. My Muse. π
After 30+ years of friendship and a wonderful daughter, grandchildren...
and yes... Passionate Blues and Heavenly Highs,
the journey continues.
Here's an inkling of the Passion and Love we shared.
p.s.
Paige loved this Track and asked me to play it often, and at full Volume.
Who would've thunk that only four years later she would die in my arms... and suddenly, at that? But she did. And did so Gracefully! :)
True Love truly is Forever ....................................................................................................
