This improvisation has a bit of drive. The left hand keeps up a steady walking bass in B♭ at around 120bpm. The tension comes from the undercurrents — glissando, tremolos, clusters, punctuated 9th/13th chords, and my own turnaround motifs — always subtly pushing the music forward. At only two minutes long, it is compact but with momentum, with an energetic intro, and a final Sammy Price inspired flourish to close.

As usual, this was a spontaneous and unplanned recording, exploring the moment.
