Another nice one. The high point for me is the figure at 5:00 - 5:20 but it's all good. I think it's quite hard to maintain interest within similarity. You've managed it here, but I'm not very good at it and usually take the easy option of contrast. I've noticed so far that the bits of improvisations I like are the bits the players abandon after a few seconds. Just what this implies about me I do not care to analyse.

wow I didn't know J.R. improvised as well as writing the Lord of the Rings! ....er...nevermind. I think this is my favorite of anything you've posted so far! Very lovely. I can really hear the Debussy influence in your playing here. And thats REAL Debussy influence---there are so many New Age players who say: "I'M INFLUENCED BY DEBUSSY" .... no they're not. Those players wouldn't know a whole tone scale if it hit them over the head.

Thanks, you guys.  Yes, Debussy is surely a great influence to my improv style.
