My 13th album, "Coffee Time Piano Preludes," is a delightful short solo piano album that takes you on a musical journey through the diverse moods and moments associated with everyone's favorite beverage.
Each track is a musical expression of the various facets of coffee, from the comforting warmth of the first sip to the contemplative moments spent lost on a coffee table. Feel the subtle nuances of flavor in "A Cracked Coffee Pot" and experience the bustling energy of "A Latte at 316 West 103rd Street." From the brisk pace of "Cold Espresso" to the sweet simplicity of "More Sugar Please," these preludes capture the essence of coffee culture in concise and evocative compositions. Immerse yourself in the rich harmonies of "Hazelnut Creamer" and feel the caffeine-induced anticipation in "Craving for Caffeine." Let the minimalist beauty of "BLACK" wash over you, and imagine the meticulous counting of beans in "He Was Counting the Beans." Finally, savor the gradual unfolding of flavors in "Slow Roast."
"Coffee Time Piano Preludes" invites you to indulge in a musical coffee break, where each note is a sip, and every melody is a moment to be savored.
