This is music that crosses boundaries. Classical music, jazz, funk, free improvisation. These pieces were written as a companion to a book of poems by Linda Nemec Foster about the planets and other celestial bodies.
Bio / Background
Pianist, composer and arranger Steve Talaga has been performing professionally for more than 25 years. He is co-leader of “Mind’s Eye,” a jazz quartet with four compact discs to its credit, “Angst for the Spoiler,” “Seasons,” “Lucky Nine,” and “Children of the Glacier.” Talaga has performed with “Mind’s Eye” at many venues and jazz festivals, including the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and the Montreux-Detroit Jazz Festival in Michigan. Music from “Seasons” has been featured on the nationally syndicated public radio program, “Jazz After Hours.”
Talaga has also released five compact discs under his own name: “Mirage,” “Yin-Yang,” “Basement Alchemy” (which was chosen as best release of 2000 by Lazaro Vega at WBLV-FM), "Two Worlds," and, most recently, “Contemplating the Heavens” (a companion to the poetry chapbook of the same title by Linda Nemec Foster).
