Name: Sweet Imp
Duration: P00H06M14S
Description: I wrote this song for my sweet daughter, Gillian, who was 3 or 4 when I wrote it. She was rather impish. It's a pretty unique piece for me, as it is fully of free gestures and lots of space and syncopations. In the bridge, everything settles down and gets lyrical, but then it goes right back to the original type of music.

Live at Jazzhaus
by Äl Jawala

Love the music of Rabih Abou Khalil - knew (and possess) his earlier stuff, but it's fun to come back and see what he's doing now. Love the rhythms, meters and melodies. Planet Flippo
