"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.
