REFLECTIONS 2011 winner for the state of Georgia used the track Heavenly Harmony for a choregraphed dance video.
The student is also an accomplished piano student of composer Alvin Masters . The composer congratulates Zion Lewis

Silver Waters neoclassical piano solos published 2009 .

Alvin Lloyd Masters recorded Silver Waters in 1988 in
Atlanta, Georgia and also in San Francisco , California.

It is being released for the first time in 2009 on compact
disc with Blue Jay Music.

It was very much influenced
by the music of George Winston whose music made a great
impression on the composer in the early 1980s.

In fact , half the tracks were produced by Howard Johnston
at the legendary Different Fur Recording Studios where
George Winston recorded December and many of his best albums.
Other early influences in this music were
Fresh Aire and the French piano music of Erik Satie.

Neoclassical for the most part, the music is charming , well produced and very enjoyable
to listen too. There is some use of classical titles,
eg. Animato, Sonata, etc. and classical forms. Folk sounding at times as well.

Around 30 minutes in length and twelve tracks.

A fascinating glimpse of some the composer's earliest works
created while experiencing life challenges. The composer was creating and recording during a time of great emotional
harassment and exploitation of large corporations of his original music in which he had many works stolen , distorted ,
and released without his permission . The composer was surreptitously recorded, stalked , and done incredible harm
which continues to this day unfairly . These events will be a part of the legacy created by men who trampled the rights of the least for personal gain and selfish profit . None of the men or studios mentioned above were part of the thefts .

This music is early in the career of the composer and is listed as bjm 002 , Blue Jay Music.
