“Playing solo is meditative — you get into a calm space of total concentration. You’re in total control — you do whatever you want to do.” - Lewis Porter
After the release of his trio album Beauty & Mystery, featuring John Patitucci, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Tia Fuller, as well as the release of Longing, Lewis Porter unleashes himself in total freedom for an endeavor to captivate the audience with a collection of originals and standards in his new solo album, Solo Piano. Porter describes the process of playing solo as “meditative,” and has sought to bring in both musical and intellectual elements that he simply could not with a rhythm section.
The album is available March 29, 2019.
Please join us for the CD Release Concert at Michiko’s Studios at 7PM on March 29, 2019.
