Here is the Full Version of JavaMusiK Improv A Day #9, a new series created in an effort to inspire myself to create and write more, with varying degrees of success so far.
One quick observation I am noting at this stage is a need to break free of my own boundaries. I think that has been what has subconsciously held me back from creating anything new over the last 7 or 8 years.
I need to move beyond what has already been done. I feel today's post kind of reinforces that need and desire. Let me know what you think..

I am dedicating this music posting to Norman Zimmerman who passed away this evening, and his beautiful family, starting with his wife Elaine, deceased wife Cynthia who kept me playing piano through my youth, offspring Julie, Jay and Jim (rip) and their families he leaves behind. His and their influence/effect on my formative years is immeasurable. ❤️

It has long been suggested that my library of music get made available on Bandcamp, a hosting service for musicians. More control of content is available to the artist while allowing more benefits to the audience such as discount pricing and/or allowing the option of more feedback &/or support to artists they enjoy.

All that being said, I am happy to say I finally have my first (most recent) album up and available for preview/purchase/streaming. Should you be interested in purchasing, the pricing is set at an introductory level for the first 30 days, to be re-evaluated after.

Please consider giving my most recent album Grey Havens some love. It would help encourage me to upload more of my creations from the last 25 years (41, if you count back to the actual composition dates of the early material). Thank you for all your support!
