About “From The Top”
How does a creative pianist keep his creativity when his regular playing is done before audiences who are often more fascinated by the waiter’s recitation of the plat du jour? When asked this question, D’Amico smiled and said that what he is really doing is playing for himself, continually challenging himself to find new things to say within these old standards–things that when he did have the opportunity to play for a jazz audience, people really did listen to and appreciate. Jay D’Amico displays an exquisite touch, impeccable timing, and a remarkable sense of harmonic inventiveness. He is one of the most promising young pianists around today.
