Composer/Arranger

Changes (Bijan Taghavi)

original composition for "jazz piano trio" as featured on TrioGram's debut album, TrioGram.

"Changes" is a waltz I wrote to depict the general changes of life. Written during the pandemic, I wrote this as a tribute to my mentor, Robert Estrin who dealt with a lot of changes in his life as a result of the pandemic and was prompted to move from Arizona to Ohio. Musically this is depicted by the several moving chord changes and key centers in the tune.
