“Moment’s Notice”: A somewhat lengthy “stream of consciousness” and experimental practice session version of this classic by the great John Coltrane. I'm starting here without any specific technique in mind or any preconceived agenda and just seeing what happens and develops. Sometimes we lose and sometimes we win. There are a few times here where I almost “fall off the cliff” but I think it's not necessarily about perfection. For me, it’s the process that’s the focus and not specifically the final outcome.

"Invitation" - composed by the great Polish film composer Bronislaw Kaper who also wrote "On Green Dolphin Street". Two of my favorite standards. Invitation is a unique and interesting song in terms of both melody and harmony. Always a great vehicle to improvise and experiment on.

A little warmup and fun today playing on “How Deep Is the Ocean” by Irving Berlin. Pretty tight quarters in the hand percussion room at Berklee.
