Not sure but I think this might be the recording with Bolcom playing the piano, there are no notes. It is one of two masterly pieces he wrote in 1976 as commentary on the Buycentennial, as I came to think of it. It contains some of the best use of sarcasm in music that I'm aware of. The other is his great Piano Quartet, which I can't find online. Got the feeling that we were thinking along similar lines on that one. It's a lot like I'm feeling about the country right now.
