Fantasies & Delusions

A surprising pivot to solo piano compositions. Romantic, melodic, and deeply sentimental, it trades pop hooks for the language of Chopin and Debussy.

September 28, 2001 · Columbia

A sophisticated and deeply sentimental collection of solo piano pieces that feel like a private conversation with the past.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the playful, circular melody of Waltz #1 (Nunley's Carousel) that evokes a childhood memory.

The sprawling, eleven-minute emotional arc of Aria (Grand Canal) which feels like a wordless operatic tragedy.

The stark, cinematic tension in Fantasy (Film Noir) where the lower register of the piano creates a sense of urban mystery.
