Josh Nelson
Piano Solo on
Forgotten Memories

About

Josh Nelson opens the solo section on piano, stretching out for one chorus. Set within a straight feel, the key of A, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. As the first voice heard after the head, Nelson sets the improvisational tone before passing to Jun Iida. "Forgotten Memories" is an original composition by Jun Iida from his 2023 album Evergreen, performed in A minor with a straight-eighth feel in a rubato, freely paced setting. The piece explores themes of nostalgia and loss through its plaintive harmonic language and unhurried pacing, allowing each note to carry emotional weight.

Josh Nelson was 44 to 45 years old at the time.
