Duets of bass clarinet and keyboards. Playful etudes of chamber jazz with heavy doses of goofing off. Often a light, happy mood turns into a stormy freak-out (3). Lots of old-fashioned jazz influences in here, coupled with European avant-garde doodling. Fun stuff overall.

1- Playfully bouncy with lots of mood swings. Starts grumpy.
2- Wurlitzer organ sound
3- Strong swingy theme
4- Tangled and chaotic
5- Bubbly, geometric goofiness
6- Caliope snippet
7- Quiet start, into dark piano hammering
8- More wurlitzer. Cute bouncy theme.
9- Inhumanly low growls; slow
10- Silly lumbering swing
11- Slowish, very low grumbling
12- Screeches
13- Low-key
14- Mysterious and stormy, after a pleasant intro
15- Sidewalk cafe snippet
16- Upbeat jazz wanderings. Nice traditional sound.
17- Blurry electronics! Ends around -3:09
17a- Last couple minutes of track 17: big slow loud gospel blowout.
