John Bickerton
Born:
"It’s like being submerged beneath the surface of the ocean or a large lake experiencing the otherworldliness, the sense of new, the out of the ordinary, that’s where I try to go with each song.” This highly personal, searching aesthetic is what drives New York-based pianist and composer John Bickerton.

Matthew Heyner (bass) and Rashid Bakr ...
John Bickerton Trio: Drinking From the Golden Cup
by AAJ Staff
The cover gets your attention, even before the music comes on. On the front, all is peaceful: three birds in flight form the golden cup of the title, from which they drink. Expecting a placid “sounds of the seasons” album, you turn to the back and see those enigmatic titles. “Don Quixote and Don Juan Meet ...
