Whether he's exploring Bach, Bacharach, or his own compositions, this Melbourne-based improvisational pianist plays with supreme subtlety. His fingers glide over the keys, generating sprightly clusters of high notes that positively sparkle, or dwelling poignantly to build melancholy atmospheres. Joe Chindamo is unafraid to approach jazz, classical and pop with the same intelligence, imagination and adventure, deconstructing familiar music and reassembling it with deft skill and spirit.
