Great sound! the right way to introduce the morning. I'm a classical composer but I'm close to jazzy and blues sound, well done! 

It's a feeling and you captured it beautifully on the ivories. Beautifully done, Simon!!!

Simon, play like that like high-paced-car-chase for someone, you know! LOL! :DDDD  Very neat!

@sunnidayz: Thanks heaps for the kind comment

Nice touch. I know how difficult it is to keep rhythm without a rhythm section. I say only this: It is easy to recognize a pianist who can keep up tempo and swing alone, with his / her left hand. Some will learn that, for example Duke Ellington never did, Count Basie and Oscar Peterson on the other hand had it in their blood. The two latter are my favs. Keep on trying!

If you've been following my Blues piano tunes for a while, you'll know that it was a style of playing that captivated me as a child/teenager.But it's only been in recent years that I feel I'm getting deeper into the genre & finding all the nooks & crannies I never noticed before. Maybe I'm maturing as a musician, or maybe I've just got a thick head & it's taken this long to knock it into me :) Enjoy this improvisation, based on the 12 Bar Blues motif & get to understand why I needed to crawl before I could walk.

Here is the Youtube link to this tune :)

Crawl Before You Walk

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
