Album description

These are original compositions.

I first began writing my own songs at about ten. Those days are too far back to remember, and a few songs were lost. However, my oldest known song is the first on this album. It's a classical-type, straightforward piece. All of the other songs on this album are much more complex and free-formed.

When I play one of my songs, it is never the same; there is always room for me to express how I feel at that moment, and the song is simply the vehicle. There is a basic structure of chords and melodies in most, but not all--for example, "Love Can be Long" is purely improvised in the key of D-flat Major. This key is a favorite key of mine, and whenever I play in it, something good comes out.

Most of these are songs I have played many times; thus I know the structure well. Within this structure, I always embellish--my songs grow every time I play them--new things happen, unexpected music is instantly born. This is similar to how I live my life.

The power of music is to move you: to lift your heart, to cast it down; to make you feel joy and sorrow; to show you beauty and ugliness. Music should be experienced, not just heard.

Beautiful and...

Charming! Another outstanding pianist. So much feeling, heartfelt and adeptly articulated on the keyboard. Here is another artist I would love to see play in person. Oh, how much we miss when we don't see the body language, the sweat on the brow, the glazed eyes.

This album is truly a delight, refreshing, melodious, and relaxing to the heart. It is obvious that this artist loves his medium and will continue to grow and provide marvelous works of art as the years progress. Colin Newcomer is a musician to keep an ear out for and not to be missed. Colin, keep those winged fingers of yours flying over the keyboard and send us more lovely pieces.
