"Alexi Musnitsky – Zia"
Alexi Musnitsky (20) is French and American, born in New Mexico and living most of his life in Paris, France. He has been playing piano since the age of 4, trained as a classical pianist in the Russian style by Marina Ravor and won a first prize at the Flame international piano competition. Playing for others started as a young child in Paris, Catalonia and Amsterdam.
His music has been called expressive, bringing out emotion and sensitivity. 4-time Grammy winner Eugene Friesen recorded with Alexi in his album “Zia” produced by Will Ackerman at Imaginary Roads.
The music of Zia will touch your soul and warm your heart. Let your ears listen and your spirit unfold, the music will lead the way. It most certainly worked that way for me while taking this in. 
Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck – New Age Music Reviews 

Eloquently restrained and never bombastic in its approach, Zia offers an impressive level of musical maturity and depth for this young talent. Demonstrating a piano playing style that is fluid and supple, Zia is not to be missed by those who particularly enjoy elegant piano music wrapped in wholesome beauty.

Chris Boscole 608
"Chris Boscole – Skipping On Daisies"

‘Skipping On Daisies’ is composed of piano solos that are happy, lyrical, magical, and dreaming, reminiscent of new age and neoclassical mysticism. Thirty years after his first release of ‘Shimmer Solo Piano’ in 1986, ‘Skipping On Daisies’ was performed on a 9′ Steinway Concert Grand and has a warm, spacious sound that soothes the soul and relaxes the mind.
Boscole is a versatile pianist and composer in the neoclassical, new age, jazz, folk, and contemporary instrumental genres. He explores creative relationships between nature, photography, and music through videos and multi-media concerts. Classically trained, Boscole has a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Washington and a Master of Music in Studio Music and Jazz from the Univers ity of Miami, Florida. A Pacific Northwest native, he’s been sailing Hawaii over the past several years and now makes those islands his home.

Popular in radio, his last five solo piano releases have all charted in the top 10 at Zone Music Reporter: A New Age of Classical Piano, Floating on a Melody, Inner Voy ages, Presents of Angels, and O Christmas Tree.
