Paul Machlis: Bright Field
Paul Machlis (piano, keyboards)
Alasdair Fraser (violin, viola)
Barry Philips (cello)
William Coulter (guitar)
This expressive and emotional album of primarily original material retains some of the flavour of Paul's acclaimed collaborations with Alasdair Fraser.
"Machlis is a piano player with a delicate and tender touch and a composer of tender and stirring music drawn from a Scottish idiom. Evocative, fluid, warm ... a joy to listen to."
—The Galway Edge
