I grew up around a piano. I dated an Italian pianist (ugh). My priests all played piano. I damn near lost interest in the instrument until I stumbled onto the work of Lubomyr Melnyk a few years ago. The piano has been beautifully redeemed thanks to the sheer beauty, intricacy and power of his work.

[Music] Kickstarter Project: Jeffrey Roden Collaboration With Solaire Records
I was fortunate enough to meet Jeffrey Roden when I used to work at the legendary Aron’s Records, and would also see him at Gábor Csupó’s avant-restaurant, Lumpy Gravy, to perform. A true gentleman and scholar, as well as a great bassist and pianist, I’m happy to report that Jeffrey is now fully funded for his project, releasing three CDs with Solaire Records.
Here is his Kickstarter page, which launched this endeavor.
