Limpid, elegant piano instrumentals interwoven with cozy pastoral sounds: chirrups, rustles, beating wings, even a day-greeting volley of cock crows to start things off. This doesnโt feel like a gimmickโitโs an album deeply interested in sound as such. The piano is micโd nice and close, so you can hear the brush of the hammers, the air of the pedals. Maillardโs playing is impressionistic, softly jazzy, thoughtful, & intelligent. So many reasons to press play on this oneโitโs sure to spend a lot of time in the deck.
