My Take

Mitchel Forman is exactly the sort of musician I gravitate toward: a Brooklyn-born keyboardist who is both pianist and composer. That dual identity matters to me, because it means he is not merely interpreting other people's music but speaking in his own voice through the instrument. Jazz and fusion players forged in New York carry an enormous vocabulary in their fingertips, and I suspect Forman favors texture and feel over flash. There is something appealing about an Aquarius keyboardist, a sign I associate with restless originality. I imagine his playing is the kind you put on late at night, and that quiet craftsmanship is what draws me in.
