LC 50925 : 2011-06-30 : 2019-10-30
These cues tell a story, easily cut but created with an arc in mind. One note can fill a room because this album was engineered to be thick and wide. From solo introspection to pure jazz ensemble, cold and lonely to warm and upbeat, simple simon to avant guarde, orchestral accompanyment or a beatnick blues club; a piano touches the heart and mind.
