The album was released in January this year:
“They began as early morning musings,” says soft-spoken John Beasley of his new release, Nuances. “It was just improvising on the piano and after a while I thought to turn on the tape recorder.” Thus Beasley’s fourth album was born, his first collection of piano solos, each of the fifteen pieces a fine distinction from the next.
Infused with influences ranging from Mompou to Bach, combined with Beasley’s background touring and recording with jazz icons Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, Nuances is a moody reflection of Beasley’s ability to capture classical, blues, and world music in varying degrees of piano solos.
