About the album

Austin-based pianist, composer, singer and producer Sean Michael Giddings has had a wide-ranging career since moving through the University of North Texas 1:00 Lab Band a decade ago. Tours with pop icon Christopher Cross, country star Pat Green, or virtuoso guitarist Eric Johnson offer a deep musical well to draw from when expressing his own songwriting voice or with this, his debut piano trio album. His compositions and musical touch evoke major influences such as Vince Guaraldi, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau, while the central Texas setting of his home recording studio—with the Baldwin baby grand that’s been with him since childhood—add a patient, comfortable embrace to the session. With the calypso-esque “Sebastian,” or the ‘70s Jarrett-influenced “First Cup,” Giddings’s longtime collaborators bassist Sam Pankey and drummer Daniel Dufour propel and support, while the moving ballad, “In the Light of the Unfinished Moon,” personifies the sound of deep musical connection.
Der in Austin lebende Pianist, Komponist, Sänger und Produzent Sean Michael Giddings hat eine weitreichende Karriere hinter sich, seit er vor einem Jahrzehnt durch die University of North Texas 1:00 Lab Band kam. Tourneen mit der Pop-Ikone Christopher Cross, dem Country-Star Pat Green oder dem virtuosen Gitarristen Eric Johnson bieten einen tiefen musikalischen Brunnen, aus dem er schöpfen kann, wenn er seine eigene Songwriter-Stimme zum Ausdruck bringt oder mit diesem, seinem Debüt-Piano-Trio-Album. Seine Kompositionen und sein musikalischer Anschlag erinnern an große Einflüsse wie Vince Guaraldi, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett und Brad Mehldau, während die zentraltexanische Umgebung seines heimischen Aufnahmestudios - mit dem Baldwin-Baby-Flügel, der ihn seit seiner Kindheit begleitet - eine geduldige, komfortable Atmosphäre zu den Sessions beiträgt. Bei dem calypso-esken "Sebastian" oder dem von Jarrett beeinflussten "First Cup" aus den 70ern treiben und unterstützen Giddings' langjährige Mitstreiter, Bassist Sam Pankey und Schlagzeuger Daniel Dufour, während die bewegende Ballade "In the Light of the Unfinished Moon" den Klang einer tiefen musikalischen Verbindung verkörpert.
