Garten is an emerging young composer, who is
quickly becoming known as one of the most
stimulating and exceptional musicians of our time.
On this engaging CD, Garten performs his
trademark solo piano improvisations, revealing a
composer and performer who is both young and
fresh, but also an experienced musician who has
been part of the musical avant-garde since
childhood. On this remarkable set of recordings,
created in four sessions at Garten's own studio,
he plays from the heart, and often reaches inside
the piano, strumming the strings with his
fingers, with paint brushes, and all sorts of
hardware. This is a CD not to be missed by those
interested in the present and future of
experimental jazz and modern classical music. |
