It begins. The trip inside the verbal portion of a jazz composer's mind. Judging from the various ways people have asked me "Where does that song come from?", it's a topic of interest. I better not give away all my answers now. More than one piece has come from freeform interpretation of lines and forms in nature. Compositions such as? "Love Song for a Mountain", "A Rock's Line", and "Sage and Lupine" . Where does your song come from?

    Don't forget... "Of course you can improvise..."

    Absolutely! Composing is just one version of improvising.

    To unravel the creative process--how an artist goes from an idea to a song, painting, film, book, etc. --is a compelling topic. Looking forward to more!
