Originally written for an artist's video showing the progression of a painting in progress, this is an extremely happy bit of music that will make you want to get up and sing and dance !

Dancing Elephants

A calm, quiet classical piano improvisation. Relaxing!

A little (or not so little) baroque improv I did in 2013. Solo piano.

That Old 3-Note Improv (Baroque Piano)

This is an old tune of mine from 1983 that I digitized off a barely alive cassette tape. It's called "Dreams" and the time signature is alternating 7/8 and 9/8.

Dreams

A moment of quiet contemplation of those lost evenings so very long ago. Starts off with a duduk solo, joined halfway through by piano and qanun.

Those Lost Evenings

A little challenge from the PianoCloud Facebook group to write something using these chords, in this order:  D minor, A minor, G minor, C major.  This is an improvisation -- piano & duduk.  Composed & performed by me !

Why'd You Have to Leave So Soon

A little gospel song I wrote some years ago and recorded in 1985. Pat Frey choreographed it and we performed it around Los Angeles.  The best part is the 3rd part.

This is totally loose -- just fooling around tonight, still practicing playing on 2 keyboards at the same time.  :D  Just a bunch of Egyptian-style improv, on the fly.  Arabic music by JoJo, ha !

6/20/13 Cleaned it up a little (just a few notes here & there) & re-uploaded it.

Arabic Tune

A little love song.  This is an improv.  Short and refreshing and sweet.  Bells and violin.
