As a piano player, Marcus Persiani has maintained a steady, vital presence on New York City?s uptown jam-session scene. He appeared weekly in clubs such as The Lenox Lounge, Minton?s Playhouse, Smoke and the legendary St. Nick?s Pub in Harlem. A major leap in his musical language, this collection of standards and original compositions paints a more intimate, personal portrait of Marcus Persiani?s practiced piano playing. Contrasted against his playing history with Latin greats from Mario Bauza to Willie Colon, the musical manifestations Marcus has made for ?Urban Fictions? are a striking shift in style.
