On this album I chose to take a break from arranging and composing. I was really mostly curious to hear myself as a solo performer: just me and a piano or me and a guitar on the song "Just Like Heaven." This was all recorded at home with little or no preparation.
Despite my ability to compose and arrange music on paper, I am terrible at at reading and playing music from a score. I actually avoid playing my own compositions. The only song on this album that I wrote was the title song "Impromtu Blues" written in Bb. Written in this case is actually a misnomer since the song was almost entirely improvised.
