Kyle Shepherd – After the Night the Day Will Surely Come

A solo piano performance is an act of faith, a pregnant musical proposition with the potential to orient the alert listener towards higher human ideals. It’s a faith in pianism as a process — so that by daring to physically shape sound into form, into coherent interplay of sonority, rhythm, inflection, and phrasing, the pianist as sonic pilgrim may point us to discover a path towards more. This path we discover as listeners by being alert. It’s a promise rooted in the axiom that there is a revelation in improvisation. Kyle Shepherd is a devoted improviser.
