Artist description
In a genre most often compared to the pianist-composer George Winston, Mr. Orr's songs have a rhythmic and tonal intensity that is at once both compelling and relaxing. His thematic sequences bound by tonal colors, emotion and imagery create an ambience that reduces stress, noise and the complexity of everyday life. Over the years, Clause Debussy, Erik Satie, George Gershwin, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Stan Kenton, Tommy Dorsey, and Chuck Mangione have influenced Mr. Orr. |
