Brian
Crain was a musically inclined child, but he was never formally educated in
music, and yet has still found success as a pianist/composer. His passion was baseball however he found his
true destiny in the ivory keys.
Based on what I have heard on Piano and Night, Brian Crane’s 17th album, he is doing exactly what
he was meant to do. He has quite the back catalog that prospective listeners
can explore, for now, we shall explore his latest effort that was released in
March this year.
Brian composed and performed all 11 tracks on Piano and Night. What the title suggests
to the listener is the magic of nighttime can be yours to enjoy. It does not
have to be the basic fact that the sun went down. Look at the cover of the CD
with all the beautiful Chinese lanterns floating upwards like little stars
going home to the heavens, and Brian is off in background playing his piano to
this dance of light. This is what the nighttime was meant for, star gazing and
the solo piano music of a talented composer and musician.
Piano
and Night is slow dance under the stars so you, as the listener, can
picture in your mind's eye the beauty of the nighttime and all its offerings.
Brain Crain makes the suggestion of these thoughts and then makes it a reality
through his music. One man, one piano, and the nighttime are all you need to
enjoy this music to the fullest extent. It was a very relaxing and comforting
journey to partake in for this listener and it most certainly put a different
spin on the night time, and that is exactly what this was meant to do. Mission
accomplished to all within listening range.
