Nice work here, LPman  It flows perfectly, and really if you hadn't said it was improv I'd have never known. The airy and dreamy quality of this tune is what drew me in. Very entrancing to listen to. Great job - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

WOW!!! A beautifully done and great sounding piece of music! All the acoustic was that Brent Mason solo guitar? Sounds beautiful! How did you process that? Very nice stuff!! Take care. Greg

Greg Hi Greg, I did the same process like the song "wrong planet" except more focus on creating an independent bass-line. Yes Brent Mason did the acoustic guitar... My "Self Piano Reflex" improvisation project is still learning to walk  Last night I tried to see if the song "The world needs love" by Dionne Warwick could be interpreted & would work with my piano reflex cheatsheet... will have that answer soon! Thanks for your wonderful review.

Hello, LPman
It's a very unique chord progression as usual.
Nevertheless improvisations are beautiful.
It is surprising for me.
Generally, improvisations are apt to collapse with strange chord progressions.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Shigeki Adachi Yes, one day my chord progressions will follow a more standard path... mean while I'll build bridges, until they pan out to choruses & versus.... l'll get there  Thanks so much for an honest review. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
