Here’s an intriguing 2 cd set along with a bonus disc; Tobin Mueller delivers 2+ hours of rich and impressionistic piano, akin to Debussy and Satie, but with a swing and blues feel. On the two cd collection, he intersperses thoughtful verbal meditations, at times poetic, other times narrating from literature, that adds an extra texture to the notes. The concept is intriguing, and fits together well. If you’re simply into the music, the bonus or second disc (with only a smidgeon of prose) may be your thing. The idea works well on its own terms, and is a cozy, personal and intimate treat. Sort of like a musical fortune cookie, with each piece a treasure of encouragement.
