Product details

This new album collects Bostock's solo piano pieces recorded over a period of eight years. The music ranges from completely improvised pieces and spontaneous compositions to improvisations on written themes. It might come as a great surprise to the listener to find out how beautifully melodic this music is, even when completely improvised. Full of lyricism and melancholy, the melody lines come and go, shifting in the shadows of the music. An attentive listener can immerse himself in the magic completely, floating on the gentle waves in total bliss. Although sometimes resembling Keith Jarrett's solo recordings, this music has none of Jarrett's tenseness and stressfulness. The sound quality is exceptional and the piano sounds completely realistic with great presence and sound clarity. This is a real gem - an island of serenity in the havoc that surrounds us all. Highly recommended! - Adam Baruch, Jazzis Web Shop.
