LATEST ALBUM
IN TWO MINDS
WITH MICAH THOMAS
“A duo is a special type of situation as when engaging within the musical framework, one can enjoy a true conversation in musical terms. It has always been a joy to have said conversations with Micah.
Micah is a genuinely kind person; devastatingly intelligent and playfully witty, he is a deep thinker and a dedicated believer. When he plays the piano you can hear, not only the history of the instrument, but the workings of a diversly creative mind. He listens attentively and interacts honestly.
We used to play duos often when we were at Juilliard together and we recorded this album on a whim. 3 hours at Chris Pattishal’s apartment on a hot summer’s day in the Heights. We just showed up and played and it was beautiful.”
