The Copper Hat is Greg Maroney s second album of original piano solos. Greg is a very passionate and eloquent composer/pianist who refers to his pieces as soundscapes - a musical rendering of the way different places, events, and people affected me. The pieces are varied in style, from the quiet ballads, When You Come Home and Passages, to the swirling, sparkling November s Cascade and the dramatic Esmeralda & the 17 Goats. Maroney has a very powerful playing style that is exceptionally effective in expressing a wide range of emotions. His extensive classical training is obvious but tempered with his jazz background, and his musical palette is very colorful. Esmeralda is a real stand-out, but I also really like the pensive Person in the Mirror, which is played mostly in the upper s of the piano - melancholy and questioning, this is a beauty. The Merced is also gorgeous. I assume the title refers to the Merced River in California. The piece flows and meanders, much as a river does, giving it a dreamy quality but also a sense of purpose. Maroney s music is substantial but accessible, and I highly recommend it. --Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications
Product Description "The Copper Hat" was recorded February of 2001 after a move to rural Pennsylvania. Many of the songs have stories behind their composition. During a visit to his mother, who is in the midst of Alzheimer's disease, he found that her husband had made her a copper wire hat in the shape of a pyramid to help improve her failing mind. She wore the copper hat, tied with ribbons under her chin, around the house. The song Copper Hat came to mind when his mother spontaneously started dancing to his music. The album is dedicated to his mother, the woman in the Copper Hat, who gave him the gift of piano.
