About the songs
Listening to the CD, you will notice quite some contrast between the songs. There are solo jazz piano compositions on one hand, played only on the Boston-Steinway grand piano. Some are ballad songs (Crystal Silence, See Of Tranquillity, Autumn Leaves), others have a more (stride) swing or blues feel to them (Don’t Blame Me On Green Dolphin Street, Do The Bart Man Blues, Stella by Starlight).

Two original pop ballad compositions are added to emphasise the possibilities of a core acoustic piano melody combined with MIDI sounds to form a complete “virtual band’’. Where Crossing Over contains some jazz influences, Looking Up To You is more of an easy listening type composition.
