Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating entirely unaccompanied, the highly idiosyncratic pianist displays his masterful, orchestral approach to the keyboard across a set of standards. His signature delayed right-hand phrasing and relentless, guitar-like left-hand strumming create a deeply swinging, self-sufficient rhythmic engine.
