James Lazzeroni - Musical Influences

Each one of these albums or songs had a major influence on my piano musical direction. Take any one of these solo piano albums away and, believe it or not, my piano music just wouldn't be the same. They are listed more or less in order of their impact:

1. Jim Brickman:  Waterfall

I doubt the idea of writing for 'solo piano' would have ever occurred to me were it not for being introduced to Jim Brickman's piano music. Truly life changing.

2. Michael Bublè: Christmas Album

3. James Taylor: Before This World

4. Peter Cincotti: December Boys

5. Billy Joel: Just the way You Are

6. Leonard Bernstein: West Side Story

7. Procol Harum: A Salty Dog

8. Beatles: Abbey Road

9. Pink Floyd: The Wall

10. Elton John: Your Song
