These
aren’t just strange times
These are awful times,
beyond imagining. I can take
only take so much coronacrap
(cvc). How
’bout you? As pianists,
composers and arrangers, we
regard masters of the crafts
with deep respect and
admiration. Such are two
pianists/arrangers whose
singular works I would like
to hold up for your
appreciation, enjoyment and
even inspiration for the
possible, the whimsical. The anti-cvc. I thought that I
had heard “Three Blind Mice.”
Then I discovered pianist/composer/orchestrator
Stanley Black in partnership
with the London Festival
Orchestra. Figuring that jazz,
the uniquely American musical
form, is really the
culmination of the art/craft
of composing/performing, I
went to the source and came up
with Art Blakey and his Jazz
Messengers. Whimsical,
fanciful, if a picture is
worth a thousand words, this
is worth, rough estimate,

Here
is the remaining 2022 concert
schedule for CCPAS Piano Composers:
Friday
June 19 at 7:30 pm, Grace
Presbyterian
Our concerts have
been on hiatus
for too long,
due to the Bay
Area Counties
Directive to
limit spread
of the
coronavirus
and the
disease,
COVID-19.
However, they
will resume.
We'll let you
know when the
next one is
scheduled.
Meanwhile,
please be
careful, stay
safe and
healthy.
Composingly,
Daniel and the
Piano
Composers
Perhaps
in the jungle,
the quiet
jungle, the
lion sleeps
tonight, but
not our
composers!

grew up in
Hawaii and I
have fond
memories of
the Japanese
gardens which
I encountered
in
Honolulu.
I remember I
went to one at
night when it
was lit up by
candles and
the effect was
completely
magical.
Here is a
brief musical
'reminiscence'
of those
lovely
gardens.
