Description
Prepare to add this glorious, magnificent, and beautifully recorded release to your favourite solo piano improvisation records.
Stephen Grew writes - "I've always loved the reality of an empty canvas. To be confronted by what seems at first like nothing, this by comparison is like the stark piano keys and its voice inside the box! With its dormant, silent strings and hammers intact, to finally depress the keys to uncover an unknown sound world which finally comes into play."
This series of solo piano pieces demonstrates the full scope of Grew's formidable technique and imagination. Grew has been a somewhat under sung figure on the UK improvisation scene for decades, and this should be the release which shines a much deserved spotlight on his work.
