A beautiful improvisation. Keith-like in many ways. Playful, indeed.

beautyful Sound, your Instrument talks to me🙏🔥

This piece is about the immense forces surrounding us in nature..... Starting slow and building up gradually, with background strings and double piano part from 2:00. What is your opinion about it?

Gravity

This is a collaboration with my brother who wrote and recorded the acoustic guitar track first, and I then added the piano to it (and later added a piano interlude and ending).   

As a piano player, I find that it can be a challenge to share the stage with another instrument without being too obtrusive.  Additionally, piano and acoustic guitar are both rich in frequencies making mixing a challenge (especially for my novice mixing skills).  I don't think I would have even attempted this project if I hadn't heard a bunch of wonderful and inspiring acoustic guitar and piano duet examples on SC from @debra_buesking and @david-dunhamuser589535203  https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/sets/dunham-buesking-collabs
This song is in a different style than their work, but nevertheless it was very helpful to listen to Deb and David's songs while thinking about how to try to fit in the piano in a complementary way.

Song title: The rugged sound of the flat-picked dreadnought together with the spaced out melody of the piano gives me an overall impression of desert/Western combined with sci-fi/fantasy.

Dance (John Stone)

I heard the weather report
And it’s worse than we thought
Because of all that we’ve done
Now there’s nowhere to run
The sun's getting hotter
The sea's on the rise
Before long the water is up to our eyes
There’s floods on  the earth 
And fire in the skies


We all thought we’d be fine
Yeah we’ve had a good time
But we were wrong when we guessed
That we’d always be blessed
Now we can’t drink the water
We can’t breathe the air
There’s not enough left for the people to share
It’s too late to panic
It’s too late to care


If we are reaching the end of the line
Walking as if in a trance
It’s already too late
To alter our fate
But while we still can we can dance

As we’re approaching the ending of time 
Caution is thrown to the wind
Kick off your shoes 
And surrender the blues
Forgive us, oh Lord, we have sinned!

So we dance

Dance dance dance dance

Dance like there’s no tomorrow
Dance to the beat of a funeral drum
Dance like there’s no tomorrow
We can Dance till the dawn that’s not going to come

Dance

'Jazzy Ditty' (https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med?in=user-432503709/sets/album-the-goods) is one of my earliest and favourite jazz tracks, which I keep revisiting and trying different things with. In this slowed down version, the opening and closing piano parts are the main chorus theme, and in the middle I tried throwing in another older track - 'Belle Curves Blues'. 

There's also an alternate faster version called 'Jazzy Ditty (alto - quartet)', where the piano melody line is replaced by a saxophone. https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med-quartet?in=user-432503709/sets/bestest-ones

I'd love to eventually expand the main theme into a longer piece, and one day have this played live by jazz musicians. 

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

Breeze

For Alfred de Raza, who reminded me of the importance of being playful, when improvising on piano. It is in fact a powerful idea. Remarkably, I had never thought about it before. I agree with Alfred. Being playful is important. Whether this can take place consciously or not, I do not know.
200th track, since last November.

Playful (improvised Jazz Piano)

Me and Jesus was written by Tom T. Hall and released in 1972. Many artists have recorded the song after Tom recorded it. The song has become a very popular Country and Gospel song.
