B. Seeley p, E. Reed p, J. O`Neal p, M. Braun p, M. Alexander p, Chesky 2004. Twelve tracks of solo piano blues, boogie and spirituals are played by the five pianists, two tracks are duets. The recording was done at A.C. Pianocraft Recital Hall, NYC before a life audience with a single point microphone. The music is played on two different concert grands. I`m a dedicated fan of the Chesky sound, but I think this recording experiment failed. I don`t know if it`s because of the acoustics of the location or the recording technique or whatever, that the sound isn`t that good. On other solo piano discs you can hear more details because of the more direct recording of the piano. I think, that would have been better in this case, too, because it would have been very interesting to hear more differences and nuances in the playing of that five piano men.
