late nights and dim lights

Gonzales - "Piano Solo". 16 themes for left hand accompaniment and right hand melody; hear the influence of French piano style (Ravel, Satie) as filtered through Canadian folk and American jazz (Nina Simone, Keith Jarrett) in his-own unique creation. Throughout the album, Gonzales' former job as silent film accompanist shines through. I came across this album the other day on a shoot. You NEED to hear it, super sexy minimal piano melodies. _b
