Pianist Cornelius Claudio Kreusch crafts a contemplative jazz journey on Heart and Soul, a 2012 GLM Music release rooted in European contemporary jazz. Kreusch's touch is lyrical and searching; 'Le Piano' and the suite-like 'Lior' reveal a musician comfortable with space and silence as much as with flowing passages. The album breathes with the unhurried elegance of an artist in his element—chamber-like, introspective, and deeply felt. For those seeking jazz that rewards patient listening.
