Today’s song is “Roulette” by Grand Pianoramax (feat. Black Cracker & Karsh Kale). This song is off the duo’s album Smooth Danger.
Winner of the inaugural Montreux Jazz Festival international piano solo competition, Swiss born, New York-bred keyboard visionary, Leo Tardin originally conceived Grand Pianoramax as a live keyboards and drums duo with occasional guest vocalists. Eventually adding a studio aspect to the plan, Grand Pianoramax released two critically praised albums generating over 40,000 iTunes downloads.
Grand Pianoramax will make a US appearance at SXSW on March 18th, to be followed by a European tour featuring Black Cracker and a rare NYC appearance at Drom featuring Mike Ladd on May 11th. Smooth Danger is scheduled for release in the US on May 3rd via ObliqSound.
