The material on this album was performed on a 1925 vintage A.B. Chase baby grand piano. During the two months in which this album was recorded, microphones were set up permanently around the piano waiting for moments of spontaneous creativity. All of the recordings on this album were made during these moments. The pace of this album is dynamic, ranging from gentle textures to sudden bursts of activity.
