about

The tracks on this album draw on the nearly four years of Piano Diaries albums (some of which are posted here on Bandcamp.) All of the music on all of the Piano Diaries albums is freely improvised—that's the concept. But "Freely improvised" is a somewhat misleading term. It does not, at least in my case, mean freely meandering, quais-dreamlike pseudo-impressionism. Rather, my improvisations, are really more like compositions in that they are thematically driven. That's how I roll.

I'll be adding and deleting tracks as I cull through recent and older improvisations. Stay tuned...
