Impressions of Nowhere

[Michael Tauben]

Thought I'd share this short piece for piano. I'm thinking of doing with my jazz band or maybe with tenor sax and keys. I like the solo piano version too and since I seldom post any music here I thought hell, why not.

I gave it that title because it is obviously impressionistic but I didn't have anything or anywhere in mind. I never really do unless I'm given a brief for a commercial job.

I just dialled up 'Cityscape' on youtube. Was it that to which you were referring? A bit too lush for my taste what with all the big strings! Still Brecker could blow, boy could he blow.

I feel an Ogerman and Brecker moment coming on Michael :)

I thought it was interesting that a piece called "Impressions of Nowhere" actually opens up the doors to a lot of musical places that you could take with this piece.  Overall this does have a smooth, jazz feel, but not smokey louge, rather contemplative and pensive.  I think you could pull multiple pieces from this one track and hope to hear more like this.  I would like to see the sheet music as their were some chords that could be modified to further the paths down certain musical ideas, if that is cool.

Hi Chris, thanks for listening and for the comments. I'd be interested in what modifications you had in mind but I haven't made any sheet music yet. As soon as I have a chance I'll do it.
