Hiya folks,

Time to change up my flow, Listeners. 😉

I realize I've only been posting  Ambient-Jazz Improvisations with my friend and guitarist Tim Elliot for the past few months, so now it's time for one of my Ambient Solo Piano Improvs.  

So here's my latest exploration of the sound and flow my Kawai ES7 Electric Concert Piano gives me access to. And while there is always something that folks feel is worth complaining about or being offended by... as usual, my focus is on 'the Beauty' in this Life!  

So may you enJOY both. 😉

The photo is not a Sunrise, my friends.
It's a Moonrise over Denmark, with Crepuscular Moon Rays radiating into the evening sky.

The Beauty

This is the 2nd single from the upcoming album! Will be on all platforms along with PERKS

HER $ - MR747 & A Dubbl Z

Written by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed by David Cooper.

It was just a conversation
That brought you back into my thoughts
Or was it my imagination at play

Somewhere hidden in my memory
Was a vision of how we were
But we were never meant to be as one

CHORUS

A flame that once burned as bright as a star
Somehow rekindled to open up a scar
I thought had healed so many years ago
Doesn't it just go to show
Doesn't it just go to show

A beauty with deep brown eyes
So free and so full of life
We were very close or that's what I thought

Bridge

She brought me sunshine in the morning
And in the evening sweet red wine
And then she'd look at me and smile

Behind her false persona
Her painted smile was just a disguise
To hide a secret that blew me apart my Elaine

My Elaine (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Body and Soul.  Solo Jazz Guitar.  Recorded at home with a Zoom 6.  Two microphones on the unit plus 2 additional paired microphones in front of the guitar and an amplifier in a sound both with a microphone.

I promise to be kind to your Ears.... 😊



May you enJOY. 😊

in The Moonlight

Organic Chocolate Stout

I wrote this track asking what it would be like if Paul Buchanan jammed with a few guys in Philly on a decent Grand Piano. One take on the piano after vibing for a few hours.

Bluest Nile

Burning Man was tough this year.....lots of rain and plenty of MUD.

SUMMER OF BALLS

STUCK IN THE MUD BLUES-Blues Instrumental

This immersive ambient composition is built upon fragments of a cassette tape unearthed from my collection, remnants of my teenage years. Despite its heavy deterioration, as I immersed myself in its playback, memories flooded back, vividly resurrecting the process of its original recording. This introspective journey prompted deep contemplation, inviting me to ponder the continuity between my past and present selves. What enduring traits define me, resonating in both my personal and creative evolution?

Through this musical exploration, I seek not only to unravel this enigma for myself but also to invite listeners to embark on a parallel introspection. Together, we delve into the timeless question: What enduring essence connects us to our childhood selves, shaping the individuals we become? Join me in this sonic journey, where nostalgia intertwines with introspection, inviting us to reflect on the unbroken threads of identity that bind us across time.
