Part of the Boston Street Piano project. A trumpet student was practing a part from the Ravel G-Major Piano Concerto, so I did this riff on it.
You can view a video of this improvisation here on YouTube.
This is one I imagine playing for a dancer.
Another longer post. Here in Boston, we have had so much snow in the past month! The snowbanks are at least 9 feet tall on either side of our driveway, and our little street is like a bobsled tunnel. The last time I remember seeing this much snow, I was a child, and the walkways went over my head because I was tiny! Needless to say, I have had snow on the brain. So this improvisation ends in a little tune I remember from when I was that small child, watching a sweet movie about another child and his snowman.
I made this recording in Davis Square, Somerville, MA. The piano was part of the Boston Street Piano Project. If you follow the link and scroll down, you'll find a video of me playing!
I recently purchased a Zoom iQ6 X-Y Stereo Microphone for iOS from Guitar Center, and this is the first recording I made with it. I have been making all my recordings on my iPhone, but the recording quality hasn't been great for music. I'm still working out the best settings to use, but I think you'll notice the difference!
