In 2023 Russ Lossing released Alternate Side Parking Music, a CD by his band King Vulture, its tense rhythms, acid-toned Wurlitzer and Rhodes electric pianos, and titular acknowledgement of the travails of car ownership all betray the influence of living and creating in anurban environment. Even before the record was out, Lossing put the city in his rearview mirror. He now lives in a house on three acres out in the country near the Delaware Water Gap. With no neighbours close by, he can play through the night if he likes, and he never hasto forsake the piano to park his car.

Just asAlternate Side Parking Musicreflects the circumstances of city living,Inventions:A Suite of Improvisationscan be understood in light of the setting in which it was made. Lossing recorded it on his own piano, in his living room, at night. He took his time, selecting thesuite's six parts from pieces recorded between May 2023 and January 2024. But it does not seek to express the view from his room. The setting is a not a resource to be mined, but a precondition which enables Lossing to access the mindset necessary to spontaneouslyconceive and articulate this complex but logically organized music.

Lossing is no stranger to solo improvisation. While he has led his own bands for decades, and is a versatile, engaged facilitator of other people's music, solitary exploration within a determined framework is at the core of his creative practice.

Inventionsis founded upon a lifelong study and practice of music, full stop. "My influences are very broad. All western classical music, all Jazz, Folkloric music of the world, Indian classical music, Electronic and Musique Concrete from history, Gamelan and the list goeson." It is also born of an enduring, intimate relationship with the piano."

American pianist, composer and improviser Russ Lossing has been a part of the New York jazz scene since 1986, leading his own bands as well as working and recording with Paul Motian, Tim Berne, and many others.
