Greg Maroney - Fall (2018)

Fall is the last of this year's "Four Seasons" project, depicting each of the seasons as I hear them. Fall is the time of harvest, reflection and preparation for the coming winter. The sunlight is changing, the days are becoming shorter and there is a wonderful aroma in the air. Summer's activities and energy are drawing to a close. We can turn inward to reflect on our labors as well as enjoy the harvest. We have come full circle now and, as we all know, winter is coming.

Contemporary instrumentalist Greg Maroney's solo piano compositions evoke wistful stories and images of the rural American countryside, in particular central Pennsylvania, where he resides with his wife and many animals. Maroney began studying both classical and jazz piano at age five and later, in the early '70s, studied classical Indian music as well. The pianist performs throughout the Pennsylvania area -- at local restaraunts, radio stations, weddings, private parties, even the governor's mansion -- and has also released a series of albums -- Songs of the Water Rose (1997), Copper Hat (2001), Sentinel (2002) -- all of which feature original compositions. ~ Jason Birchmeier
