about

12 solo piano pieces that function as a kind of self-portrait of where I was when I sat down to record in December of 2021.

I made this record because I like making music and being alive, and I wanted to document the beginning stages of my solo playing process.

Much much more to come.

special thanks to some of my mentors: Marilynn Musiker, Joe Morris, Frank Carlberg, Jason Moran, all of whom have guided me tremendously in finding my solo piano voice,
to my three heroes: Geri Allen, Lowell Davidson, and Cecil Taylor, who created the pianistic worlds that I try to make my way through,
to my endlessly inspiring pianist friends Rahul Carlberg and Ari Chais,
and to Mom, Dad, Joel, and Josie for being okay with me recording in the living room, and everything else.
