Title:
Solo Piano
Label:
NO FORMAT (FRANCE)
Format:
LP
Price:
$23.00
Catalog #:
NOF 004LP
Originally released in 2004, the No Format label makes this highly-acclaimed record available on vinyl. Over the last 10 years,
Gonzales
has transformed himself from Berlin-based underground entertainer to Paris-based pianist and producer. From a collaboration with
Daft Punk
to a piano concert for
David Bowie
's Meltdown Festival in London Royal Festival Hall, Gonzo straddles the underground and the overground. Since 2003, Gonzales has been based in Paris, producing with
Renaud Letang
(
Manu Chao
's co-producer). His role is to arrange and play all the instruments, on albums by
Jane Birkin
, the Canadian singer
Feist
and
Charles Aznavour
-- until Mr. Aznavour fired the Gonzo-Letang team late in the game and started over. This gave Gonzales even more time to prepare
Solo Piano
, 16 themes for left hand accompaniment and right hand melody; the influence of French piano style (
Ravel
,
Satie
) as filtered through Canadian folk and American jazz (
Nina Simone
,
Keith Jarrett
). Throughout the album, Gonzales' former job as silent film accompanist shines through. Pressed on white vinyl housed in a full-color inner sleeve with an insert.
