two solo piano albums available.

Rebecca

the title song from her album, "Golden". It really
blew me away. Click

Azimuth Piano - A couple of friends and musical collaborators of mine (Paul Gentry & Rhesa Siregar) have released an album of the tunes that they wrote together. It's all piano music, beautifully played by Ed Goldfarb. Most definitely worth a listen.
And
some gifted singer-songwriter friends as well:
Fred
Haring - A deeply incisive writer and a very good friend.
His third album leads off with "Carousel", a collaboration
we wrote together in about 2000. My favorite songs of his: Where
to Begin, A Prayer for Evan Dando, The Morning Sun/set. Listen to Carousel
Alison
Kitchen - Another friend and a superbly-gifted writer. Her
lyrics will draw you in, and her music will clinch the deal.
Her song "Beloved Planet" is truly one of the most
beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's available for free download here!
