Product details
It's a rare thing to be able to showcase a performer's work over
a forty-year period. This 2-CD set does just that. Roger Dean has
had a serious career in improvisation, ranging from his
performances over that time to his books written on the subject.
This pair of CDs contains some of his best work since 1978 on his
main instrument, the piano. The music shows the depth and breadth
of his musical interests, and the skill he brings to performing.
One can also see how he has re-invented himself musically over
that period, during which he has also re-invented his
professional working life, from running a heart research
institute, to becoming a university vice-chancellor, to his
current university research.
Dean opines that this release was inspired by the ground-breaking
set of CDs Tall Poppies released in the early 90s of the
improvisations of the late Roger Frampton. In this 21st year of
Tall Poppies, it feels somewhat like a coming of age, when a
project from the beginning inspires a new project a couple of
decades later.
All pianists and improvising musicians will find food for thought
in this CD set.
This CD release is part of Tall Poppies' 21st birthday
celebrations.
Duration: 152 min.
Liner notes include program notes and biographical notes on the composer.
