Pianist Rob Clearfield is making a name for himself as one of the finest young players on the scene. Rob has played as a member of bands with Fareed Haque and Matt Ulery's Loom, as well as Information Superhighway with vocalist Leslie Beukelman. A truly gifted improviser, Rob has recently released A Thousand Words - a remarkable recording of improvised solo piano pieces, which showcases Rob's creative abilities. Returning to the same Piano Forte studio and Fazioli 212 piano on which he recorded the album, Rob recently performed before a select audience. Astonishingly enough, this talented artist did not perform the pieces from his recording, but instead created new compositions on the spot - merging classical technique with a freely improvised jazz approach to music which enthralled all those attending. Our John Broughton was one of the lucky ones to attend and he offers this photos from this event.
