LIVE: Gyorgy Ligeti Etude no.8 Fem - Multi layered African influenced rhythms - the dialogue starts out playful between the hands growing in complexity...we did a special version with added percussion for this live performance.
Nina Simone: Don't Smoke in Bed. Juxtaposing jazz and classical in this duo for trumpet and piano.
Alasdair Nicolson: 42nd Street StompSet on a Broadway musical backdrop – 42nd Street stomp emerges from the blues into a feet stomping, rollicking dance with references to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

Performed live at St James Studio by:
Christina McMaster: Piano
Fred Harper: Percussion
Jay Phelps: Trumpet

Pinks & Blues is a mix of jazz and blues influenced Classical and Contemporary Piano Music. 'Pinks' represents the upbeat, foot stomping fun tracks and 'Blues' are, well...the Blues!
