about

Volume 2 of the American Piano Music series focuses on the following seven composers. Click on a composer name to see full biographies.

Scott Joplin (1868 - 1917)
Amy Beach (1867 - 1944)
Dave Brubeck (1920 - 2012)
Keith Jarrett (b1945)
Florence Price (1887 - 1953)
Dave Grusin (b1934)
Zez Confrey (1895 - 1971)

I've recorded three pieces by each of these seven composers and, as I did in Volume 1, I've mostly dovetailed the pieces from each composer in a more programmatic fashion, as opposed to playing the pieces sequentially by composer. The only time I don't do this is with the compositions of Florence Price and Zez Confrey. Their pieces were meant to be played sequentially; Price's three pieces forming her "Dances In The Canebrakes" suite and Confrey's comprising his "Three Little Oddities" suite.

There’s a lot of nuance and detail in this music. The very best way to appreciate the album is to listen with a good pair of headphones. Try it - It makes a big difference!

I hope you enjoy listening to each of these pieces as much as I enjoyed recording them.
