A European tour with Miriam Makeba in 1970 had brought Parlan to Copenhagen, where four off-days gave him time to look around the city. He liked what he saw and two years later he settled down in Copenhagen. Horace Parlan enjoys playing solo Piano ? but hasn?t had the chance to do it all that often. Parlan?s aim in making this CD was to give highly personal interpretations of compositions which he has cherished over the years but which have not been over-recorded. He says: "I am not a Tatum ? I have to make the material fit my particular style and I spent quite a bit of time working on the arrangement. I wanted to do a reflective CD ? no racehorse tempos, no pyrotechnics ? and also make the harmonic structures as interesting as possible."
