here's kind of a strange take on a very old tune by Charlie Christian, "Air Mail Special." when i was looking at this it started to feel very much like it could have been written by Ornette Coleman, so that's the direction i took it in. for me this standard seems a lot more radical than one might expect.
My first thought was: what will come of this? Then, from the 2:43 section, it became very interesting and exciting.
Budo, this is where we hear you at your best.
A masterfully played improvisation on Pianoteq, I mean, this is the act of spontaneously creating beautiful, structurally sound, and emotionally compelling music in real-time. It is essentially like composing a brand-new, polished song on the spot.
I think improvisation is kind of real-time composition, you act as both composer and performer, and I always feel you have an intuitive, muscle-memory understanding of scales, chords, and intervals, allowing your hands to navigate the keyboard on autopilot.
Many thanks again for this moment.
Best wishes,
Stig
