Album Notes

Richard Bliwas' new release on Rising Rose Records Uncovered
17 way-out pop jazz spellbinders.

The virtuoso pianists’ 6th CD Uncovered reflects the dissolving boundaries between jazz and other forms of music. Richards’ soulful improvisations and transformative psychedelic production create a poetic spellbinding musical symposium, summoning synesthetic spirits in mellifluous inventive uncoverings of new and familiar tunes.

The compositions and lyrics are unusual, unpredictable, dark, mysterious, disjunct, and by intent. Everything is dynamic - changing from moment to moment. Substantive jazz vocabulary... a pianist with amply developed technical skills The music has the feeling of stretching time and space in an infinite universe of floating musical galaxies.

Downtown Music Gallery (May 09 Uncovered review)

Haunting , inventive , engrossing, on acid ( in a good way), multi-enjoyable, challenging and innovative.

Spacey loungey glitch-jazz songs - (has anyone coined "glitch-jazz" before?). Kinda like Robert Wyatt meets The Books with the next door neighbors listening to Sun Ra…
