Improvisation – Introspection in B Flat

I share my piano improvisation recordings here as a journey in raw, musical self-expression, and I invite you to listen to these snapshots of my internal world; the technical notes are extras for those who wish to explore the music theory further.

This is a new improvisation of mine, – I’ve called it Introspection in B Flat. It is based on a slow jazz ballad style with subtle gospel and modal colours. The harmony includes major 9ths, suspended textures, and blues notes. The title reflects the gentle searching, inward quality of the music: a tentative but clear conversation with oneself. It is pensive, with some stillness, and unanswered questions.
