This original composition is called Parallax: Exercise in harmonic visualization and chart creation: write the tune without the aid of an instrument - hear it, write it down, bring to rehearsal. Inspired by the film, Amadeus, and watching the brilliant pianist Makoto Ozone while across from him at the Coffee Shoppe while I (and he)was in school, write charts as freely as the spoken language, I set out to do the same with this piece, and feel I was successful with less adjustments in notation than fingers on one hand. 

This piece is a tribute to two of my favorite artists, so they are stylistically combined in my mind: Miles Davis and Terje Rypdal.

We went over the sections, then ran the chart. Recorded (just by chance actually) on the Boom Box cassette machine because it was the only device in the room. !st take.  Sonicly low-fi, but to exercise worked out OK,. It sounded like I intended, only about two pitch corrections. Matt Ryan on drums, Geno Lopes on bass, Ray Elzey on keys/guitar, me (Dave) on Guitar
