pianoAlbum Description
After years of dividing his time between New York and Brazil, following his heart and musical instincts, pianist, composer and arranger Cliff Korman has established his home in Rio de Janeiro. As a follow-up to his 2022 release Brasilified (which at present registers 800k streams), Bossas and Ballads (Tiger Turn, 2024) is his first solo recording made in Brasil, and reflects his love for adagios, and his interpretative approach of reharmonization and orchestration on the piano. He offers up an album of solo piano interpretations and improvisations. His adventurous performances include readings of “Montreux” (Hermeto Pascoal), “Encontros e Despedidas” (Milton Nascimento), “Some Other Time” (Bernstein, Comden and Greene), “Michelle” (Lennon and McCartney) and his composition “Almonds and Roses.” Throughout his career, Cliff Korman has always loved and been inspired by the North and South American jazz and popular music songbooks. At the same time, the pianist has consistently sought to play the songs in an unpredictable fashion, stretching out and coming up with fresh interpretations.
