Cool Music Tueday - Gonzales - Solo Piano

This CD is a gem. It's one of the top selling "jazz" (it's not really jazz) CD's on iTunes. I would classify this as mainly classical (think, poor man's Debussy or Chopin) with a few splashes of jazz. These 16 short pieces are really thoughtful and sensitive. It would be great music to "chill" to with a glass of wine and a big comfy chair. Check out the clips on Amazon or iTunes. It's great stuff.

This Gonzales cat sounds like an interesting guy. Here is his description from Wikipedia:

Gonzales (real name Jason Beck) is a Canadian musician currently residing in Paris, France. Though most well known for his first MC and electro albums, he is also a pianist. He regularly collaborates with the Canadian musicians Feist, Peaches and Mocky. Additionally, he has collaborated with Jamie Lidell on the album Multiply, and Buck 65 on the album Secret House Against the World.
In the 1990s, he was the leader of the alternative rock band Son before embarking on his solo career. He has worked as an MC in various European cities, and lived in East Berlin.
