FROM YELLOW TO YELLOW (1989) by Graham Fitkin
This is an early piano work by the composer who I much admire. I love the arpeggiated extended chords and the shifting time signatures.
CHILDREN’S SONG NO.6 (1971) by Chick Corea
This is the first recording in a larger Chick Corea ‘Children’s songs’ project. I love the combination of folk melody meets jazz in these pieces. As the composer says they lend themselves nicely to expansion which is why I include a little improvising as a coda to the piece.
