Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the playful spoken intro of Lazy River into the effortless stride piano rhythm.
The stripped-back vulnerability of Imagination where the piano notes hang in the air with immense weight.
The rhythmic confidence of Avalon where his vocal phrasing perfectly mimics the syncopation of his right hand.
