Frozen Lake

This song enttled Frozen Lake by one of my favorite jazz artists, Bob James and classical pianists, Kieko Matsui is undeniably beautiful. Upon first hearing it I thought these two talented people were playing their own individual pianos which would be amazing in its own right. The embedded video makes this song even more amazing when you see that they are playing the same piano.

Frozen Lake is off their joint 2011 release Altair & Vega, an album named after the two brightest stars in our galaxy which is most fitting. It is an album strictly for the piano lover, there is no other instrumentation on the album. Where you think that may get boring after awhile, there are only seven tracks on the album to keep that from happening. In my opinion Frozen Lake is the stand out.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful piece of music as much as I do by these two amazing musicians. And even if it's not your cup of tea, at least marvel at the fact that it's all played on the same piano by two of the brightest stars in our musical galaxy. Enjoy!
