Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a formal introduction to his refined touch, the pianist's debut positions him as a lyrical, conceptually thoughtful alternative to the more aggressive keyboardists of the era. His original compositions reveal a sophisticated sense of voicing and structure that would later make him a crucial behind-the-scenes arranger for the label.
