Recommend an instrumental Piano CD
 

I'm looking for a good instrumental Piano CD. Any recommendations?

TIA!

You need to specify christian/classical-jazz.
If it is christian you're looking for, my recommendation would be Ben Tankard, Ramsey Lewis.

If it is the other, easy to listen to would be David Benoit, a little more advanced listening would be Joe Sample, Chic Corea, Oscar Peterson. And by a "little" that really means "lots" because they are the greatest!

I could also record my great rendition of Van Halen's "Jump" for ya, it ROCKS!, he he

What does TIA mean?

Depends what style of music you like. Classical? Jazz? Rhythm/Blues? Southern Gospel? Easy Listening? Contemporary? Rock? :D

LOL! Monkeyman! I assumed everyone would know I was referring to Christian. lol! Thanks for clarifying for me, though. :tiphat

No thanks for Van Halen! But, if Lionel Richie had a Christian Piano CD - I would buy it!!!

Are the above named people Christian artists?

TIA!

Thanks in Advance

I like all genre's of music, so anything is good. I listened to a couple at the Bible bookstore the other day, but I didn't like them. In other words, I like them all, but some artists don't do the piano justice.

I don't play by ear and finally found Moonlight Sonata in sheet music the other day. People hardly carry that anymore. My mother had the most beautiful Cherry Wood antique sheet music cabinet I have ever seen. She sold it to her sister! I was crushed!

There's quite a lot available. If your Christian bookstore doesn't have much of a selection on the rack they might could order some in for you. We do that all the time for our customers. It's easier if you can give them a title.

You might want to check out Christianbook.com. It's a pretty huge website and you can order from them. We use it at Blessings as a resource site all the time. Click on "Music" They have an "Instrumental" section so you could check it out for ideas.

Thanks. I'm a member of Sound And Spirit and have done that. I just wanted to see if anyone had some that they listen to and could recommend. I've bought several instrumentals and didn't care for them. I'll check out Christian Book - I have an account with them also.

This is a really nice saxaphone and piano cd...the songs are so beautiful...very relaxing...great for meditation/prayer time

Thanks, Becky. I absolutely had that one in mind and wondered why I don't have it in my collection already. That will be my first order!

Gordon Mote is currently on the Gaither tour. He is a studio session pianist in Nashville. Here is his site.

Also the Quiet Time Series by Ralph Lofton, Jr. is nice if you like Gospel.

Hey MM,

If you are a Jeff Lorber fan (I am), he has new release that just came out this month titled "He Had a Hat". It's pretty nice!

Thanks! I'll check that out! :tiphat

I like this one in the Cool Springs Cafe series. You can listen to samples.

Love Lorber, he was doing awesome stuff on synths before it was cool!
I'll check it out.
That's the deal about being up here, no jazz stations, (I gots sirius though) and no concerts, bummer.

PO If you still need the answer, please use ChristianBook at the lower left corner of the forum.

Christopher Phillips, who is the piano player at Christ Church, just came out with a solo piano CD of his arrangements to choruses. It is really good! :)

Thanks, Pianoman. Do they sell that in the church bookstore?

I checked and they don't have it listed online yet! You can call the church at (615) 834-6171, and ask for the bookstore.

Thanks!

If you REALLY want a GREAT classical piano sound...that is gospel also...try Dino!
