NEWSLETTER	MARC COPLAND
Terms and conditions Legal information	"Alone" reveals Marc Copland solo, it is a facet that is especially exciting - particularly now, after this pianist's extraordinary New York Trio recordings on Pirouet. The press responded enthusiastically; the international critics' verdict: "a true miracle", "the musical choice when stranded on that desert island", a jazz musician that is more and more thrust into the "the summit regions of the musical Olympus". Over and over it has been emphasised how sensitively Copland reacted to his trio partners (each of the trio CDs, by the way, were made up of different group members) - what a kaleidoscope of colours his playing can absorb and reflect. Despite (or is it because of) Copland's unique tonal language, the individual nuances of each playing partner are revealed. Born in Philadelphia in 1948, he began his professional career in the nineteen sixties as a saxophonist. Since the late eighties he has more and more made a name as a pianist with a totally unique aesthetic. His enigmatically suspended harmonies create textural nuances which have become an unmistakeable trademark of Copland's.
