Description
Contemporary Classics Reimagined
Cocktail Mix Four offers a refreshing twist on the piano lounge experience. This volume steps outside the traditional American Songbook to embrace the golden era of Pop and Rock, reinterpreting them through a sophisticated jazz lens. It is the perfect playlist for listeners who want the elegance of a piano bar but the familiarity of their favorite radio classics.
The Artist & The Instrument
Captured on the Yamaha Disklavier DS3X 6’1” Grand Piano, this album demonstrates the versatility of the instrument. Pianist Richard Kahn expertly navigates the shift in styles, using the ENSPIRE PRO technology to deliver the driving rhythm of a Rock ballad just as authentically as the delicate sway of a Bossa Nova. Every chord voicing and dynamic shift is preserved, filling your room with a performance that feels live and immediate.
The Music
This set is defined by its iconic melodies. You will hear the timeless melancholy of Yesterday and Time In a Bottle, the rock-influenced energy of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Stormy, and the complex harmonic structure of Billy Strayhorn’s Lush Life. It is a collection that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
