ATTENTION! Just last week I put a video of Paul Parker playing Fire In My Soul in a concert up on You Tube. Now you can go and watch this masterful pianist do his thing, and get a great ovation for his efforts. Just type in Tom Tomoser presents Purely Piano with Paul Parker in the search window to enjoy this Pianist and this great tune. Paul Parker is one of the finest pianist in the country. He has played behind many of the great stars including, Rosemary Clooney, Jack Jones, Eartha Kitt, Stevie Wonder and many other big name artist. Paul Is multi-talented and and has performed in concert with the Omaha Symphony on E-Flat Clarinet, B-flat Clarinet, Alto Sax, Flute and Piccolo. Paul won the symphony solo auditions and performed the Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano concerto with the Lincoln Symphony during his college years. He presently teaches piano in his private studio in Omaha, and has served as Adjunct Professor of Music at Dana College since 1970. Paul is quiet, unassuming, a fantastic musician, teacher and the consummate professional. Paul is much sought after as a studio side man and is a joy to work with. He is also very much the perfectionist and he always delivers a magnificent performance with usually not more than a run through and a final take. The music in this collection while having a definite Tomoser feel is very nicely interpreted to bring out every bit of good in every song. Paul has a flair for boogie and blues that will be quite evident to you on Let Me Sing For You and Pretty Lady respectively. Then there are 4 tunes that lean toward the classical side, Fire In My Soul, Touch Of Love, Daughter Of God, and If I Only Knew. Paul is outstanding as his classical experience shows through in no uncertain terms. The bottom line is if you love piano music to relax by, to make love by, or for background at your cocktail parties. Purely Piano will give you what you are looking for. All these indie tunes are fresh and and new and will surely provide you with over 70 minutes of a great artist playing great Indie Music.
