Description
To mark his 70th birthday, 33Xtreme is proud to release a new solo piano album by the inspirational Welsh pianist/composer Geoff Eales. Memoir is inspired by the memory of those special people and places that have informed the musician's highly colourful and multifaceted life. His rollercoaster journey has been a smorgasbord of wondrous experiences, and this is reflected in the eclectic nature of the music with flamenco, folk, oriental exoticism, swing, blues, groove, jazz ballad, Indian raga, avant-garde, classical minimalism and Rachmaninoff-inspired improvisation all playing their part in this collection. In recent years Eales has increasingly turned towards poetry to express his innermost thoughts and so it only seemed natural for him to include a few poems to enhance the music's meaning with readings by Ray Roughler Jones on three of the 12 tracks.
