Album Description Norwegian innovator Jon Balke's first-ever solo piano disc! A remarkable `book' of 19 short pieces, grouped into four chapters and an epilogue, of music composed and developed, invented and improvised: exploring a whole vocabulary of ideas, techniques, rhythms, textures and sound-colors. Resembling no other disc in the solo piano genre, this is another strikingly original release from one of the most important musical thinkers in Northern `jazz' today. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsPiano magic Michael L. Reisinger | Az desert | 07/18/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Entirely original. Moments of true brilliance. You've never heard jazz piano like this. Balke creates sounds that surprise and even stun you. Where did these sounds and tones come from? The electic music that comes from the keys are thoughts and ideas come alive. But for Balke that isn't enough. He goes inside the piano and plays the strings themselves producing sound sthat bold and new.
Highly recommended. Again, you've never heard music like this before." |
