Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Billy Mayerl, the unsung hero of the piano world. His latest album, "Versatility Of...", is a delightful romp through the various styles and moods that Mayerl effortlessly glides through with the finesse of a seasoned pro. The opening track, "Ragamuffin", kicks things off with a jaunty ragtime melody that sets the tone for the rest of the album.
Mayerl's ability to seamlessly transition from ragtime to jazz to classical is truly remarkable. Tracks like "Blues in A Minor" showcase his virtuosity and technical skill, while "Tango Toccata" brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to the mix. It's truly a testament to Mayerl's versatility as a musician.
The standout track on the album has to be "Rhapsody in Blue", a stunning rendition that captures the essence of Gershwin's original piece while also adding Mayerl's own unique flair. It's a tour de force that solidifies Mayerl's place as a true master of the piano.
Overall, "Versatility Of..." is a delightful and engaging listen that showcases Mayerl's talent and creativity. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to Mayerl's music, this album is sure to delight and entertain. So sit back, relax, and let Billy Mayerl take you on a musical journey like no other.
