Piano music of Mike Garson

"Mike Garson may be best known for his extensive collaborations with David Bowie on disc and in concert, yet his credentials as pianist, composer, and arranger embrace a wide stylistic scope. You can't really pinpoint his virtuosity within any genre, because he interweaves classical, jazz, and pop traditions organically and fluidly ... Garson often takes his cue from preexisting pieces ... Imagine a David Bowie ballad effortlessly merged with a Fauré Nocturne, and you've got Garson's Nocturne in D-flat ... Along with his brilliant technique, Danny Holt is able to imbue each composition with a distinct character. He gets exactly the right rhythmic feeling for jazz and pop oriented works, yet brings a wide dynamic range and sophisticated voicing to more complex selections ... A major and, needless to say, unique piano release, not to be missed".
