Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by a successful European tour, the highly idiosyncratic pianist blends his signature cascading arpeggios and driving left-hand rhythm with French-themed melodies. The session occasionally features him experimenting on the harpsichord, adding a bright, percussive novelty to his irrepressibly joyful swing.
