Not only a great biography of an incredibly important musician, it is also an interesting overview of rock from the sixties to the nineties.

Solo piano [sound recording] / Gonzales

Material Type: All, Music — Tags: , — Posted on November 1, 2007 at 12:08 pm

By: Gonzales

A surprising disc coming from this South American MC. Sounding something like an expert mixing of Keith Jarrett and Erik Satie (in his more imaginative stylings), Gonzales has made a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable album of piano sketches that are at turns elegiac, ecstatic, comatose. The sound quality of the recording leaves something to be desired (expect a small amount of background noise and damage if you turn it up) but it also adds its fair share of charm to the recording, coming across as a work of private, brilliant impulse. Odd, but a CD to play again and again.
