Thanks Tricia - this was fun!

Unbelievable! Ron, some of your playing really captured that 'gospel choir heard from a distance' feeling. Such beautiful work!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks! 'Gospel choir heard from a distance' is a great phrase!

Wow, enjoyed your performance!

Thanks!

Beautiful! Loved that intro too. Nice place to beat the heat too.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks Rick - the temp was in the 80s which felt great to me but was a little hot for the audience up here!

Did I hear some Dubussy stylings in your intro.....I believe I did!!!! And then at 5:07 how you began the 'swing'...and then some boogie woogie. I felt it always...no pyrotechnics for pyrotechnics sake....always musical. Loved your playing as always.

Good ear! I was actually thinking of Gil Evans while I played the intro, and he was influenced by Debussy. The tune hints at modality, swing, and boogie, and I like to highlight them all. Thanks for listening!
