Pianist Richie Beirach feels Self Portraits, his 10th solo outing and second on CMP Records, in his most realized recording to date. “I reached a point where I felt ready to do a recording that was completely spontaneous,” Beirach explains. “It’s easy to go into a studio and improvise, but it’s difficult to come up with music that is ‘compositional’, listenable and able to stand up on its own over the years. This time I believe I’ve accomplished all three of these goals.”
