| Heard a song on the car radio today, it was nice enough that I wrote down the title and went looking for it when I got home. It's an Indonesian pianist who now lives in New York. Here's the kicker: he was born in 2003. The kid is 15 years old! Already has his fourth album out! Broke the Billboard 200 with his first album in 2015 -- when he was ELEVEN! He has an incredibly light and deft touch, very tasteful and mature. He reminds me of some of my favorite pianists like Ahmad Jamal, Red Garland, or Tommy Flanagan. |
