The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

First take, envisioned as an angry frenetic tune, but came out more heroic.

Many, Many, thanks to Steve for this music backing track, my song has come alive......

For percussion I used objects that were lying around my house at time I recorded this - a pair of scissors opening and closing is one, but i forget the others (it was 12 years ago). The lyrics were pretty much improvised

A humorous jab at Caribbean political leaders in light of widespread corruption & abuse of power .

This song is one of my most commented on tracks off my new album A.L.I.E.N. Language. I really hope you enjoy this.

A song of inspiration and exaltation.

Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…
