Euphemia wrote Chopsticks at the age of 16 under the pseudonym Arthur de Lulli and was the sister of Steve's Great Uncle; Mozart Allen; the Scottish music publisher.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The Importance of What is Not' contains two versions of Chopsticks, one arranged more in the style of Don Pullen or McCoy Tyner than the normal simplistic tune is traditionally heard. The second is a heartfelt tribute to Steve's Great Uncle, has a hint of Ravel and harmonic influences of one of Steve's  heroes  the late, great Paul Bley. The album is a mixture of specifically composed works and free improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve's trio is completed by Gavin Barras on double bass (a regular member of Matthew Halsall's band) and Johnny Hunter on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Importance Of What Is Not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Is This Thing Called Trust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Importance Of What Is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEastwaite Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosthumous Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChopsticks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMussorgsky In Memphis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLets Start At The End\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e84 Carlton Place (Chopsticks)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55164621390209,"sku":"650974","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41e2RuA53jL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768019756","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/650974","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
