One night, many stories. These are musical narratives of the nighttime hours as they are experienced the world over. Spawned largely during the stressful months of pandemic shutdowns and social turmoil, these pieces were a source of solace and peace as Neil intentionally composed in a quieter vein.

“Musically, Neil is at the top of his game. The album is perfectly produced and the tone of Neil’s piano is to die for. How he created the tone is a mystery. The Small Hours is a perfect solo piano collection. Highly recommend.”
