Album Notes & Community Reviews

A staggering display of New Orleans piano mastery, this solo recording captures the eccentric virtuoso operating at the absolute peak of his abilities. Blending classical technique with stride piano, R&B, and rolling blues rhythms, the artist completely reinterprets traditional standards through his uniquely complex and heavily syncopated left-hand patterns.
