When Peter and his girlfriend Michele came to visit the USA in June of 2011 I was hoping that Peter and I would do something musical together.
In most cases it's hard to just say, "OK, let's doing something. Let's be creative!", especially when you've never worked with one another before in the same room. Usually I set a date and time to get together. In this case time was limited. Peter had other plans booked before departing the states. So we just went into my rehearsal room and sort of jammed. This is the piece we came up with. We carved out the form in an hour and then did three takes of it; a microphone on the drums and one in between us. No words, just music. We used the piece for a video Peter did of my mom's miniatures. The "nutmeg" refers to a Susan DeVita term when songwriters use jazzy substitute chords to replace more predictable harmonic motion. Personally, I have no problem with sophisticated chord changes in a piece especially when they are coming from a great musical mind like Mr. Kearns.
