Here is a new improvisation - I’ve called it Introspection in B Flat. It has its roots in a slow jazz ballad style with subtle gospel and modal colours. The harmony includes layered major 9ths, suspended textures, and blues tinged melodies. The title reflects the gentle searching, inward quality of the music - a tentative but clear conversation with oneself. It is pensive, with some stillness, and unanswered questions.

Here is another improvisation of mine - I’ve called it Light and Dark. It is a jazz ballad, coloured by blues and gospel influences, with a slow stride bass. The title reflects the interplay between luminous major 7th and 9th chords, and shadowy inflections of blues notes. The piece has a pensive and conversational quality, exploring the tension between melancholy and optimism.

A slow, improvised piece rooted in blues and gospel harmony, with a freeform ballad structure. This was an exploration — unplanned, unscripted — following a chord progression I created.

The mood moves between reflection and release. The right-hand phrases are shaped like a vocal line, influenced by call-and-response and gospel lyricism, while the left hand keeps a quiet pulse that shifts in and out of time.

I think of this as a kind of musical meditation — and a step toward letting my playing speak before I try to explain it.

More to come.

Here’s a short taster video — I’ll be posting longer blues improvisations in due course.
This one features a classic 12-bar blues form, with a New Orleans-style groove (influenced by second-line rhythms and early R&B), gospel-inspired back-cycled triads in the right hand, and traditional blues-style call and response phrasing.

I love how the syncopated rhythms in New Orleans piano styles echo Caribbean influences — there’s a real conversational flow to the feel.
​
I'm finding real joy in exploring this style — and in recording, however imperfectly, as a way to share that process. More to come soon.

This is an improvisation of mine — a departure from my usual 12-bar blues explorations (which I haven’t yet uploaded, but will eventually!). This piece leans more toward a simple jazz ballad style, with subtle blues and gospel influences.
It’s part of an ongoing exploration in improvisation — and the simplicity and spaciousness of this particular composition are intended to create space to listen inward and trust what emerges. That, after all, is a central element of improvisation.
