In Italian organist Simone Vebber's album Segno Presente Vol. 2, new compositions breathe fresh live into the pipes of ancient organs. The opening tracks are arrangements of On Solid Ground, my suite of original ground basses and improvisations. The music fuses practices of Renaissance music with Jazz and Pop and is as much fun to play as it is to hear. In the third track of the album Simone goes to town and performs his own improvisation on my theme.
