On Sunday: Listen to Salient Sounds from Solo Piano II by Chilly Gonzalez

Sep 2nd, 2012 in Music

On this lazy Sunday, check out the ubiquitous Chilly Gonzalez (recently working with Feist, K’Naan, Drake and also a Grammy-winning producer) killing softly on three songs from his new Solo Piano II album on Arts & Crafts.

It only took eight years, but with its 14 tracks selected by Gonzales from hundreds of melodies written since the 2004 release of Solo Piano.  It’s the perfect Sunday soundtrack to a Sunday.  The Paris-based “maverick king” (as dubbed by NME) has also announced North American tour dates kicking off November 1 at Lincoln Center in NYC, where he will perform with a 10-piece chamber orchestra, as well as stops at San Francisco’s Swedish American Music Hall and The Bootleg Theatre in Los Angeles.

After some Solo Piano II below, check out Chilly and his string quartet on his recent Les Salons de Musique performance. Watch it, in full, here.  His tour dates follow below.
