East Wind
A wonderfully creative track from M4fp. An oriental flavor that morphs several times, yet keeps the the character of the mode and eventually changes into a jazz styling. Elements come and go all along. This is a brilliant concept from M4fp. Alto sax added...forgive the jazz cliches...I'm not a jazz player.

I especially love the beginning minute that reminds me of Darius Milhaud & Moscow RTV Symphony
“La création du monde, Op. 81a”, that I listen to on Tidal. Your alto sound and playing is an uncanny match. What a wonderfully inventive work you and Andrea has created. <3 +2

I hadn't thought of Milhaud, but understand what you're hearing. He was wonderfully inspired by the music of Brazil (if I remember correctly). His quirkiness was always a draw for me. Wish I could say that it was my inspiration here... The inspiration is 100% Andrea's

I am drawn to how some artists manage "acceptable dissonances" and I'm not sure if Milhaud is putting those in but I know others like Gabor Szabo (guitarist 1970's) seemed to give the entire scale a workout.

I'd seen him live several times when he visited LA. He was Hungarian (like my father) and I know some of the modes/scales he used. Mostly variations of what's (appropriately) called "Hungarian Minor". The last time I saw him he could barely hold his guitar. Totally zonked on H.

Wow, I am impressed you got to see him in LA--I know his music was used in some movies. I did a brief try to emulate his guitar sounds and gave up. Sorry he caved to fame's not so hidden danger. We have friends nearby who spend 6 months at their home in NZ and love it. Smaller world.

I'm originally from LA and moved to NZ/Australia in 1980. The music scene here is very limited, but the living is glorious. Nobody considers it the center of the know universe, #1, the worlds policeman, etc. Not many resources, so not coveted. Gateway to Antarctica may be the claim to fame?

This moved me in both space and time .... from the Sydney Opera House today, to a local NYC jazz/cigar bar during the roarin' 40's .... Wonderful music from you both :) :)

Thanks Marc. I'm especially pleased if it sits well in your refined musical ears! Andrea gave us such a wonderful template in this. He also asked for a bass to be added in his response below...

I confess to having goosebumps listening to your sax. It’s a sweet, melancholy song. It creates a wait, time is suspended as the warm oriental wind blows. Practically a poem. Thanks for joining.;)

Hopefully you know how much your wonderful template was an inspiration. So creative, unusual and original. It was an absolute delight to play with. So glad if my humble add is acceptable.
