Sometime in 2013 I was listening to the radio when on came a breeze of piano playing. At once I began to sway in the kitchen and as I kneaded dough I broke into a light dance. This is not necessarily an uncommon experience but the music was singular. It was funky, soulful and had a certain indefinable air.
By the end of the year the record, Henri Pierre Noel’s “Piano” was my favorite album of the year, new release or re-release. It opened up a whole new world of sounds, textures and avenues in my life that I’m only really starting to navigate.
