Tonights creation: Sapphire Strange

Sapphire strange...

After recording on the Steinway, it's always a joy to return home and record on home turf again, regardless of the sound quality.

1) Prelude 0:00
2) Sapphire Strange 1:50

Fluent, with quite a chameleonic, in some places almost polystylistic, language. I get the feeling that the minor second is peculiarly important in this improvisation.

Lovely! Say, how did you get into improvisation to begin with? Am I hearing some Jarrett influence in this one by the way? There's a section that is reminding me of bits of the Bremen concert. (superficially anyway)
