Summary:

“Trust me when I say that pianist-composer Bruce Wolosoff is a musical alchemist, organically mixing his multiple experiences in the worlds of jazz, rock, blues and classical music and that this new recording is yet another musical pinnacle in his already esteemed career” – Exclusive Magazine

Bruce Wolosoff is a formidable pianist, lauded for his integration of classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary influences in his compositions. His new magnum opus, Rising Sun Variations, is an extended and innovative set based on the American traditional folk song, best known for a version recorded in 1964 by British rock band the Animals. Wolosoff’s “Prelude and Theme” are followed by 39 Variations ranging from sonorous to serene, encompassing a multitude of styles united by the well-known refrain.
