Description

Bart Flos – Piano
Eric van der Westen – Double Bass*
Marc Schenk – Drums*

Disc 1 Bart Flos Solo
That first idea in 2013, the composition Origin Alpha Prime, ultimately resulted in the biggest NextSteps Project so far: Stage 6, the creation of the Jazz Suite Roots & Reflections. After recording digital Concept Audio Files and deriving the subsequent Sheet Music (part 1), a selection of compositions of this jazz suite was played solo at the grand piano (part 2). It provides you with the idea that this jazz suite is like a musical family: all compositions are interconnected, related and intertwined; they influence each other.
Tracklist CD1 Solo:
01 – Origin Alpha Prime
02 – Sidesteps
03 – My Explanation (1)
04 – Spare Time
05 – Autumn Leaves (3)
06 – Can You See
07 – Salsa Sweets
08 – Origin Delta Six
09 – Made-up Minds
10 – Free Speech
11 – Lost in Limbo
12 – Green over Blue (2)
13 – Song for Paul
14 – Second Thoughts
15 – Final Notes

Disc 2 Bart Flos Trio (w/ Eric van der Westen & Marc Schenk)*
After almost 25 years I was eager to see my Jazz Suite Roots & Reflections reflected in a jazz trio again as part of the NextSteps Projects Stage 6. Therefore it was a great experience to see my music being fortified by such awesome musicians as Eric van der Westen on bass and Marc Schenk on drums. The trio album contains different jazz styles: swing, blues, latin and fusion as part of that musical family that I intended to convey with my jazz suite. Therefore all compositions are interconnected, related and intertwined; they influence each other.

01 – Origin Alpha Prime
02 – My Explanation (1)
03 – Free Speech
04 – Minor Differences
05 – Blues Buddies
06 – Schizophrame
