Released in February of 2008, Solace is the first solo recording from pianist Neil MacPherson. For over 20 years, Neil has been performing across the country and around the world on both acoustic piano and Hammond B3 organ as part of various bands. This release marks a deeply personal journey into his craft. The results span the emotional spectrum from haunting to joyous, and make for a rewarding listening experience. Neil has studied piano and songwriting at the University of Northern Colorado and University of California Los Angeles. In various projects, he has appeared onstage with Bobby McFerrin, Marc Ford, and John Popper and has opened for Blue Oyster Cult, Common Sense, Fishbone, Joan Jett and Jason Bonham.
Neil MacPherson - Solo Piano's Friend Space (Top 7)
Just in case you're in the San Francisco Bay Area area during the holidays, I'd like to invite you to my CD Release Party & performance on Dec. 28, 8pm at Anna's Jazz Island in downtown Berkeley! It's a cute jazz club, very welcoming atmosphere, located at 2120 Allston Way. I'll be performing with my trio (myself on piano, Eric Marshall on bass, Andre Custodio on drums) with special guests Alex Yeung on electric guitar, and my jazz mentor Eddie Gale, a legendary trumpeter who recorded with Cecil Tayler and Sun Ra. It should be a great evening of music!
Warm wishes for the holidays,
Valerie
