Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the earthy accordion textures of Chorango into a sophisticated, urban piano solo.

The way the percussion mimics the dense, humid atmosphere of a rainforest during the opening of Jungle Journey.

The sudden shift in energy during Jumping Fox where the piano takes on a sharp, New York swagger.
