Wherever You Go, There You Are

I can tell you, after listening to only the first 8 bars (or so) of Michael's marvelous piano playing - he's one of the best talents on the scene today! I absolutely loved his Rhodes work on "Pensativa", and have no doubt you will as well. His style is "all natural", with no pretense or high-powered electrical gimmickry, and that in itself makes his artistry something hard to find these days. Michael's rendition of "Freedom Jazz Dance" is totally vibrant and full of jazz life... this one spins multiple times a day on my headphones. It was the volcanic energy of his acoustic piano on "Just In Time" that made it my personal favorite of the ten tunes offered up for memorable aural pleasure. I give Mr. Kocour a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.98 for this wonderful solo piano release.
