https://jimboormanmusic.com/?p=617 This is a group of four tracks I recently improvised. As the title suggests, they are a look back at how I started in improvisation. Although I played piano, I really wanted to be a lead guitarist! Instead, I tried to imitate what I heard from the blues/rock I heard and loved.

Hope you enjoy!

Jim

https://jimboormanmusic.com/?p=596 This is the first new batch of improvised piano pieces I created this past year. They are quite varied, but also as I listen to them there are themes that occur and re-occur. Some are at home with tradition, and some break with tradition. As always, for me, it is important to keep exploring and trying to ways to express myself musically.

Enjoy!

Jim

https://jimboormanmusic.com/?p=588 Here is the music part of this “Life Is Art” project. I worked on both music and poems at the same time, and decided to separate them, rather than have a poem precede each piece of music. There is a bit of a “Jim Boormanism” in all this. After I came up with the title of the project (this went through several iterations), I realized the multiple meanings a la punism. Punctuation is very important (remember “Eats, Shoots, and Leaves”!). So, I like the idea that the title is a bit of a cliche about life and art, but you can also read it as a quotation from the person, Art Life, who perhaps, is a bit of a narcissist:>)

Some of these pieces are long (longest about 12 minutes), so be forewarned! Make a cup of tea and imbibe the vibe.
