All compositions by Jane Ira Bloom (Outline Music/ BMI) except: I Loves You Porgy, If I Should Lose You.

LINER NOTES:
Slalom is about jazz without a safety net - improvised music that's poised on the brink of the jazz tradition. Being on the edge is everything to an improvisor. Precariously balanced between form and spontaneity, we make a way of life out of sounds that surprise our own ears. On this Compact Disc I tried to create a setting where the line between composed material and improvisation would disappear, so that simply the playing would come through. At the sessions, part of the challange for a player was finding a creative edge on a number of pieces that weave in and out of the jazz tradition. Part of the challenge for our group was making it all flow.
