Kurt Rosenwinkel Plays Piano

Legendary jazz musician Kurt Rosenwinkel presents a collection of original solo piano songs which span the course of his career. Available December 3, 2021.

Composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and Heartcore Records founder Kurt Rosenwinkel is acclaimed as one of the finest jazz guitarists of his generation, but many might not know that he is also an accomplished pianist. Heartcore Records is proud to present Kurt Rosenwinkel Plays Piano, an album of original compositions written and performed by Kurt Rosenwinkel. Some songs have been recorded and performed before, and will be familiar to fans of Kurt’s music. They are presented here as solo piano pieces, with the melodies, chord voicings, and rhythmic structures of these pieces intact and unadorned by the interpretation of bandmates. Listeners are afforded a glimpse into Kurt Rosenwinkel’s long relationship with the piano, as well as a rare insight into his probing compositional mind.

The project is a living retrospective of his spiritual and compositional connection to the piano, made in tribute to the passing of his father, Lester Rosenwinkel.
