This is a walking bass line with melody. I'm back to some more counterpoint!
The style is ambiguous and I'm proud of that, as that's part of my thing, to fuse the styles I've done throughout my career into something that doesn't sound like jazz, classical, folk, etc. I used to say I like melting styles together and maybe that was true then. I've now lived in this place for so long the music seems to just be a thing of it's own, like a child being a fusion of their parents, then maturing into their own person - probably not a great analogy but the child that grows into their own is the part that's important here I think.
I liked playing this piece somewhat rubato. It sounds more sensitive. I guess that's where I'm at this morning!
