Entirely original. Moments of true brilliance. You've never heard jazz piano like this. Balke creates sounds that surprise and even stun you. Where did these sounds and tones come from? The electic music that comes from the keys are thoughts and ideas come alive. But for Balke that isn't enough. He goes inside the piano and plays the strings themselves producing sound sthat bold and new.

Highly recommended. Again, you've never heard music like this before.
