Back to Neil Chotem with Pianoganini, 2001 [limited time only]






I had to get this in order to complete this remarkable artist, featured here on this blog in connection with the library music he made, most known for his involvement with Harmonium, the ultra-famous (haha) Quebec progressive folk group. This CD appeared later and recycles some of the tracks from the earlier material sometimes under different names, and even a composition stuck into L'Heptade called Sleep without Dreams that I think had orchestral additions there.  This is notable because it's not solo acoustic piano instead comprises at least two piano recordings overlaid and sometimes three.  I was struck by how tenderly gorgeous the composition called Gray Blues was, and here you can here the double-piano effect as the song moves on:




It's such a shame this wasn't developed for jazz and rock musicians like other compositions on the Neil Chotem Live au El Casino album were.
