For this solo piano project,
Marc Copland plays some fairly free originals, three jazz standards, and four versions of
Leonard Bernstein's "Some Other Time." All of the music is taken at a thoughtful pace and is quite lyrical and melodic.
Copland often sounds as if he is thinking aloud yet each of his "musical sentences" flows logically into the next one, forming a suite of sorts. The results could be superior background music but, if played at a louder volume, one can really get into
Copland's thoughts and ideas. This is thought-provoking music that deserves that close a listen.
