Editorial review
Richard Carr's When Soul & Heart Collide is an excellent collection of a variety of individual and often lyrical original compositions. Carr is a New Orleans-based composer/performer and his compositional repertoire is as diverse as the musical city from which he comes. When Soul & Heart Collide is a bit of an optimistic and moody record, but moody in a good and positive way. Comparisons could be made to George Winston, as Carr and Winston both do most of their work on solo piano, but Winston's work is much darker, and it wouldn't be fair to compare the two. In a lot of ways, Carr's work is reminiscent of David Lanz, or some of Keith Jarrett's more new age, improvisatory work. When Soul & Heart Collide is a fine record, and one that you will certainly enjoy if you love the sound of well-crafted compositions and solo piano. ~ Matt Borghi, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr, native of St. Louis, Missouri, has returned to St. Louis after the ravaging of the hurricane Katrina of his home in New Orleans.
Carr's approach to creating is one of tapping into the free-flowing consciousness of music, Richard is freely improvising on the spot. There are no sequencing or tracking techniques used during the recording. Everything is recorded in real time without any edits.
In this regard, Richard's music has been favorably compared to Keith Jarrett, George Winston and David Lanz. His concerts are highlighted by his apparent ease at the piano or keyboard and his passionate playing. Most of his audiences are also treated with a new composition or improvisation created on the spot.
Carr's improvisational composition style is full of melodic lines and rich harmonies indicative of the classical influences of the American, Russian and French composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
