Mystic
Jazz/Pop. Released September 13, 2002
I originally wrote this piece as a solo piano work. When the time came to finally record something I felt that a little more upbeat style would be suiting. I chose to work with a little more jazz-style percussion which swung the overall theme pretty well. I was happy with the way it sounded in the early writing stages, so I kept going with it.
I brought in a friend, Danny Snook Sr., to assist in the percussion work. He provided some fantastic insights to percussion work, many of which I employed in the work here. His insight was not only valuable to this piece, but will continue to be the rules which I write percussion to.
There is still a piano solo based on this piece that may someday accompany it, if time permits the recording.
