Sleep Talking
Perhaps I’m so fond of Ornette Coleman’s “Sleep Talking” because I used to do quite a bit of talking in my sleep as a kid. I also engaged in a lot sleep fighting with my brothers when they would try to wake me from my late night David Letterman slumber. Almost as crazy as street fighting.
Anyways, the track below is a free improvisation on Coleman’s “Sleep Talking” which I already mentioned here on el blog. I use some of the ideas from my previous post on repeated notes, but in the context of a more concrete melody. I like the idea of doing Ornette Coleman in a solo piano context, since one of his contributions to improvised music was doing away with the need for a chordal instrument like piano.
