I really appreciate these videos. I've had several lightbulb moments with a little tidbit or comment that instantly unstuck a composition my brain had been mulling over. Today though, it's a new to me artist that I'm thankful you chose to highlight. I listened to the mentioned album twice last night...

love it. endless permutations within simple parameters. the voices moving together in this piece reminds me of a chorale or other classical structure.

[@JazzComposersPresent]

Frank Carlberg !
from your former student Dr D (Roland Davis) from NewEngCnsrvtry (but now with my real and new name)
I will be conducting again in your hometown, Helsinki. I won their Favourite Conductor award at the last orchestra conducting Masterclass and will be the Assistant Teacher this year.
Thank you for your insights and inspiration at NewEngCnsrvtry.
You are a wonderful artist and teacher and I (and many others) appreciate you greatly.
I wish you health and joy.
