here's a tune from the book proper, Sea Journey by Chick Corea. it's from one of his famous ECM piano improvisation albums from back in the day. Gary Burton once said that Chick was his favorite composer because of his endless supply of beautiful progressions and distinctive melodies. i have to agree. this tune isn't as well played as some of his other more famous ones, but i've always thought that it has a lot of charm.

”it has a lot of charm” - Yes, and someone said ”Music has the power to enchant even the roughest of people”.
I think you play this with pure emotion (I feel it that way) . I could say, this is what playing with pure emotion is all about. You play this one so well.
And once again - the flow. You always have it, and it makes me want to listen, listen…..
I once went trough all 10 lessons ”The Circle of 5ths: A musical exercise” by Jordan Rudess on Youtube, free. And he pointed out how important it is with the flow in music, don’t stop….
And this time the ending, very nice, ending fading out like it never ends, the gradual disappearance of the music, but it did, with the chord at 5,20 - beautiful.
Thank you budo, always
Best wishes,
Stig
btw, why don't people comment on the endings of music, there are so many great endings. Myself I collected 23 dramatic,exciting,powerful,weird endings in my music, endings with Organteq 1 and 2 once, listen if you have time, maybe you missed it...?

thank you again for your listening and your comments. regarding your question about endings, actually in the past i didn't notice much about how improvisers chose to end their performances. most of them use just a few tricks that are pretty standard ... there isn't a lot of creativity. one famous early jazz pianist Jimmy Yancey ended every piece with the exact same cadence in Ab (Eb7 to Ab) no matter what key the of the original piece was! that's one way to solve the problem. but now thanks to your comments i am much more conscious about how i choose to end pieces, and i always listen more carefully to what others chose to do, even though i may not explicitly comment on it. so i have you to thank for that!
