Mitchel Forman - Childhood Dreams (1982)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 29 Feb 2024 13:00:35

Mitchel Forman’s first solo piano album for Soul Note recorded in Milan in 1982. Forman has pointed to a number of legendary jazz pianists as his "first heroes", including Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea.

Mitchel Forman has had a continually surprising career. After graduating from the Manhattan School of Music (1978), he recorded three solo acoustic piano albums for the Japanese New Wave and Soul Note labels and worked with Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Carla Bley, and Mel Tormé. However, he made his strongest impression on electric keyboards, playing with the re-formed Mahavishnu Orchestra, Wayne Shorter, and recording for Magenta (1985) and Novus (1991). Forman surprised many by performing a very effective Bill Evans tribute for Novus (1992) with an acoustic trio, but then went back to playing modern fusion on Lipstick (1993). He also played on Richard Elliot's 1997 album Jumpin' Off before releasing Hand Made in 1998 and Patience with his trio two years later. Mr. Clean appeared in spring 2001. Talented on both acoustic and electric keyboards, Mitchel Forman's progress should be well worth watching.

Review by Scott Yanow, Allmusic.com

Mitchel Forman is a great pianist. He has solid classical piano study; he's wrongly known primarily as jazz-fusion sideman (with Mark Egan or Gary Burton in particular). He also made some nice trio albums. In the '80s, at 26 years old, he start to record with the Italian label Soul Note. His work ended with two piano solo albums : Childhood Dreams and the subsequent Only a Memory. Inside there is excellent music, his compositions have harmonic taste and delicacy. I rediscovery these CDs with pleasure. Mr. Forman completely deserve it.
