Uneven Surface by MetroWest Jazz Project

Here's another of my original compositions from the CD I'm working on -- "Uneven Surface".

When we started in this project we decided that we were going to do music that was a bit beyond our abilities, and this piece is probably the most difficult one we did. I'm not sure if the decision to do difficult music was a good one for producing a CD, but it has been very good for our growth as musicians. If anyone has opinions on good strategies (stay safe or go for the triple Salkow), I'd love to hear them.

At any rate, enjoy and constructive criticism greatly appreciated.

"Over The Rainbow" reharm/modulation - Ed Saindon solo piano

Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto.
