pianowolfi is improviser extrordinaire
on: July 15, 2007, 10:28:41 AM
yes.  last night - first hand i witnessed pianowolfi at the piano.  at my piano.  the one that he also noticed was slightly out of tune (the black notes being the most tuned) - but did that stop him? noooo.  he played his 'styx' composition and improvised in the most extraordinary way.  so - i want to say that some people's playing is much better in person.  hope he doesn't mind me saying so.  and, he's a very nice person.

he seems to be able to take a theme and add many interesting harmonies to it with EASE.  i am shocked.  it would take me ages to get three chords in order that i heard in my head (if they were complex).  he has some extremely complex sounds and resolves them in a sort of 'wafting' away way - where they come back to the theme and then disappear again.  pianowolfi is like a chameleon with music and themes.

he told me not to tell where he was so the paparazzi wouldn't follow him.  give him a message and maybe he'll hit your part of pennsylvania, too.
