Album Review: Soliloquy from Alan Pasqua
Album: Soliloquy
Artist: Alan Pasqua
Label: Self-Released
Website: https://alanpasqua.bandcamp.com/releases
Elegant and serene, the sonic imaginings created by pianist Alan Pasqua on his recording Soliloquy are just that. The interludes are respite, enticing the listener to enter into moments of reflections. The compositions aren't too intense or demanding but are rather like a sweet balm on the listener's ears.
The waltzing stride of the keys ruminate with a soft glint along "Lotus Blossom," glittering warmly and gliding with a regal gait. Pasqua shows a penchant for crafting introspective moods, inviting audiences to indulge in pensive jaunts. Listeners thoughts roam freely while engulfed in the stories emanating from Pasqua's keys. The gentle strokes of the keys defining "In a Sentimental Mood" stroll with a casual penmanship, illuminating a torchlight glisten. Palpably, the choreographed keys ambling across "Isn't It Romantic" linger with a longing that demonstrate human contemplation. Though the keys drift aimlessly along the tracks of "I See Your Face Before Me" and "Hello Young Lovers," the notes are fashioned into melodic verses that stir peace of mind in the audience.
The entire contents of the CD has a lukewarm temperature, endowed with a wide appeal. Recorded at Pasqua's Santa Monica studio, the maestro played each track on his Hamburg Steinway grand piano. The compilation consists of nine jazz standards and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country." Pasqua's roots in classical, pop, and jazz idioms come together on his offering, forming a resplendent collection.
