Pianist Jeni Slotchiver gives solo interpretations of music from early to late 20th Century, taking you to a different world of patience and space. While classically trained, Slotchiver has a rich blues touch and a bona fide feel for gospel and folk material. Material ranges from a homespun read of “Swanee River” to the spiritual “Down By The Riverside” as well as the folk classic “Shenandoah” but with an arrangement by Keith Jarret. Parlor moods are presented in a collection of pieces from Harry Thacker Burleigh and the genteel pen of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, on “Union” and “The Banjo” while traditional pieces like “Deep River” and even 1967’s “Troubled Water” feel like they’ve both been drawn from the same well. A journey to another world and world view.
