"Waltz and Talks" is an original composition of mine, written in a 3/4 jazz waltz style.

This tune was written based on evening walks and conversations that I had with a very special person. No amount of words can express my appreciation for those times, so I figured that it would be better for me to express those feelings of gratefulness and thankfulness by writing an instrumental.

This tune is also written in conjunction with the 2016 Sime Darby Arts Festival, "Master+Murid" program under local jazz pianist extraordinaire, Tay Cher Siang. In hopes of keeping the arts scene in Kuala Lumpur alive and healthy and providing a platform for the more upcoming young talents that are blooming in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

My greatest thanks to Master Tay Cher Siang, for guiding and giving me feedback throughout the creation of this tune. Shoutout to Alex, from StarMount Studio for getting this tune recorded and done. Thanks to AJ and KJ for playing and understanding the direction of this tune so well and played along with me to record this.
