Album Notes

"Fan Man" is an original jazz piano ballad dedicated to an inspiring music teacher of mine, Nick Fanner. I wrote it when I was 17 initially as an up-tempo latin tune. However I was unsatisfied with it and decided to give it an overhaul when I was 22 and arranged it for solo piano. This is my first venture of composing a tune in this style and I have been heavily inspired by the music of Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Herbie Hancock and other amazing musicians. This song was composed, arranged, recorded and mixed by myself (Andrew Kesler) and mastered by Nathan Carter Moore. Recorded at The Bassment jazz club in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
