From
Mary Fineman: "Psalm19:15"
Paul
Hansen: “I think
the Queen of Hearts was feeling a little
lonely
so I wrote a companion anthem to keep
her company ...
“Cheers,
Paul — Cowboy
Anthem”

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,

Things
are quiet for now,
but look to this space for
future events.
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!
