Description
This is a collaboration between atwood1956, kcsaito, iG.STUDiO, and drlaine. The piece is actually an extended version of "Summer Place," written by Tom Atwood, and originally released last month with Japanese pianist Keishi Saito (kcsaito). Some comments on that piece suggested it was too short, especially after the lengthy intro, so an extended version was written and performed with help from iG.STUDiO on tenor sax, drlaine on drums, kcsaito on additional piano, and atwood1956 on keyboards.
The new title, "fresh green in summer," came from a phrase in an email Keishi sent describing the photograph used as artwork for this piece. A lovely photo, and lovely music from each of those who agreed to help with this 'worldwide' collaboration.
(By the way, the World Jazz Project welcomes all newcomers. Our hope is that others will use this project to post jazz collaborations. Contact any of us. We're looking for work!)

This is such a nice texture, so delicate and unhurried. Like butterflies at dawn. The addition of the sax solo is marvelous. Wonderful mix and performances. However, the 2-chord groove doesn't lend itself to a good ending, and as you trade 4s between sax and piano, there is no playing off each other and the song sort of just stops. But while in the middle of it all, it is pure heaven.
