John Erickson - And So on - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Reviews of 'And So On' 'It's really lovely! John gets a beautiful sound from the instrument and the compositions fit hand in glove with his lyrical playing style. I was particularly drawn to the gentle and understated quality of the entire recording...a welcome antidote to these tumultuous times.' -Russell Ferrante---composer/keyboardist of YELLOWJACKETS 'For those who like introspection and calm strength, this album is to listen, and love, and so on.' -John Barrett, Jr.---Jazz Improv Magazine Part solo piano, part piano trio, John's second album offers 7 new original compositions, 2 jazz standards, a Steely Dan cover and one from the bass player.
