Yet another unmissable release from Marc-André Hamelin. From the easy-going elegance of Tabby Cat Walk to the high spirits of Eubies Luckey Day (and the altogether wilder antics of Brass Knuckles), William Bolcoms lifelong and affectionate homage toand continuation ofthis archetypal American genre is a guaranteed winner.
