Synopsis

Album Description
"Naked Mirror features New York City pianist and composer, John Blum in his debut solo recording. After more than a decade of performing as both a soloist, large ensemble leader, and highly regarded side man with some of the most recognized and respected musicians in jazz, John has developed an immediately recognizable voice. On Naked Mirror it is immediately obvious that John is in total command of the complex language of technique and harmonic conventions of the piano. The antecedents are apparent: late romanticism, the second Viennese School, stride, boogie-woogie, and, of course, be-bop and the voice of ""free"" jazz. But John has absorbed all these styles to find his own unique voice that defies classification. As Stanley Zappa states in the liner notes, ""Naked Mirror needs no qualifications, conditions, or contexts -- this is music."" And we couldn't agree more!"
