Bill Laurance - Affinity (2022) [Hi-Res]

Beautiful! Melodic! Chill out... Relaxation! Stylistically diverging from his previous solo material, Affinity centres around the constant in Bill’s diverse musical career; the piano. With previous records touching on electronic music, a solo piano record was something Bill had considered for a long time, “I've wanted to do a solo piano album for as long as I can remember. To perform solo, represents musical freedom in its purest form and there is no other setting where I feel more at home. My last studio album Cables was originally intended to be a solo piano album, but quickly morphed into something quite different involving an endless array of synthesisers and guitar pedals. This time I was determined to celebrate the instrument in all its glory, by itself.”

“Affinity reveals Laurance’s poetic melodicism at its finest” (Mike Flynn, Editor, Jazzwise)
