'Light Synthetic' -David Ives, jazz piano
Short and light improvised piece. Autumn sunlight streams across bay after live weekend Rachmaninov piano at Hornsea /Mere Blues/ Cape Verde will travel.My early influences: Oscar Peterson, Keith Emerson, George Shearing, soon followed by Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample, George Duke. Today I listen to solo piano of Duke Ellington, Earl Hines, Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Dave Brubeck, Lennie Tristano, Cecil Taylor. My deepest love now lies in the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and later of Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, John Coltrane supreme?
