This recording features Kenneth Boulton performing an
engaging variety of solo classical piano music inspired by
inimitable Louisiana and New Orleans culture. Mr. Boulton
received a 50th Annual Grammy® Awards Nomination for best
instrumental soloist performer (without orchestra).
The
producers of this recording, Marina and Victor Ledin, also
received a nomination for Producer of the Year, Classical
for
this and three other recordings.

The diversity of the compositions offers a rich, yet largely
unexplored body of piano music written between 1847 and
1949.

Kenneth Boulton, professor of piano at Southeastern
Louisiana University, has made American music his specialty.
His seven previously released recordings have all enjoyed
great critical acclaim.
