Here, he's able to give stronger voice to his poetic inclinations, stretching out for 49 minutes with only the piano for company. The result is frequently reminiscent of similar explorations by Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea, although Mays' expansion of the piano adds a different dimension. Solo Improvisations For Expanded Piano doesn't imply, as often in free jazz, the attachment of forks, keys and other rattling junk to the piano's strings but refers to the addition of orchestrations after the event to the piano improvisations. These were derived in part from synthesisers, in part from digital manipulation of the original piano sounds, and add an eerie shadow to Mays' impressionistic ruminations. --Mark Gilbert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 093624728429\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624728429\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45967601008674,"sku":"0U-L2CD-0KLD","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/419U7WwqqjL.jpg?v=1783679088","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/solo-improvisations-for-expanded-piano","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
