Imagination at the Easel

P1070358rs

Imagination at the Easel is a piano improvisation using Gene Ward Smith’s magic 16 regular septimage tuning (detailed below) from his family of “Magic” tunings. I was pleasantly surprised at the 7th I found in the chord structures I used in the performance.

Dear Chris,

I enjoyed this tuning. Very nice indeed! I really like the jazzy style chords you played as well!

Peace,

Mike
