A Child Is Born

A brilliant pianist, Najponk comes with yet another outstanding collection of recordings rooted mostly in jazz traditions, this time as a solo player. His plays is characterized by great ingenuity, virtuosity, and keen musicality. In addition to jazz classics (Cole Porter, Theolonius Monk), the recording offers tributes to the contemporary jazz generation (Pat Metheny), instrumental versions of pop music hits (Beatles), bossa nova (Tom Jobim), and much more, all in Najponk's exquisite performance which reaches down to core of the compositions and presents them in a crystal pure form.
