By Paul Turner

70% Cocoa
By Karlin G Love
Regular price
$10.00
Solo piano, c.2'00
70% Cocoa was composed in response to a themed challenge: ‘Momentary Pleasures'. “Momentary Pleasures?” said my friend, “That’s chocolate.”
Combine the sensation of smooth, dark chocolate dissolving in the mouth with overtone building up inside the piano during long passages with the pedal down. This piece depicts one story of chocolate for me; there are many others. 70% is bittersweet – as is the history of chocolate whether or not it is fair-trade, organic, sugar free, etc. For the compulsive musicologist: the main scale used is 70% black notes.

Adios Armando

I interviewed Chick Corea in the 1980s. He was one of my heroes then, and already a towering figure in jazz. His stature continued to grow with every new direction and new collaboration until his death in early 2021. This is a humble tribute.
