Billy Childs: piano "I make a distinction between active listening and passive listening, and my music is for people who engage in active listening. In other words, you listen, but you interact with the music. It is becoming like a thing of the past almost, a lost art, to be able to listen to music and have it bring images to your mind." - Billy Childs "a delicate journey through a thoughtfully assembled landscape inspited by the Cummings poem... Childs [is painted] as an ambitious composer who is adept at combining jazz and classical influences as well as acoustic and electric keyboards." - LA Times "Composer/pianist Billy Childs' creative magnitude seems to be that of a brilliant, powerful star suspended in the night sky of that same territory, illuminating the way." - All About Jazz |
