Evan Lohning: Recipe for Solo Jazz Piano
 

·        start with the right setting (Jazushi of course!)

·        take bunch of really good tunes by such greats as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Ellington, Gershwin (sift through 20th century repertoire)

·        improvise (‘spontaneously compose’) the material according to one’s musical philosophy - introductions, accompaniment, tempos, endings, and overall mood and feeling

·        liberally infuse with ‘the Blues’ – even in the most tender ballad!

 
Evan’s Jazz Piano performances showcase classic songs such as “That Old Black Magic”; “Where Or When”; “Night And Day”; “Stompin’ At The Savoy”, and many, many more…
