Dominique/Maria Elena/Toccata/Teakwood Nocturne/Felicia/Theme From The Cardinal/Special Salute To The Pop Pianists & Composers Of Our Times(Medley)
Solid Gold Steinway from acclaimed pianist Roger Williams features a medley on the second side paying tribute to contemporary pop pianists and composers. (US:27)
"Williams made his mark on the charts as an easy listening pianist with a string of instrumental hits that spanned the rock 'n' roll years of the late 50s and early 60s."
"Late-90s cocktail culture made lounge stars of Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and others, while Roger Williams seems to have been mostly overlooked."
"I've enjoyed listening to Roger Williams play the piano for many years. These days with music so often synthesized, it is always a thrill to hear someone at a real piano."
"When all of us (the hard lovers of the easy listening music) made a retrospective gaze about the most legendary, sensitive, aristocratic and overwhelming pianist who amused and captivated five generations of listeners, the name of Roger Williams would deserve a status honour among the rest of his contemporaries."
