About
Michael Curnow is a pianist for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Solo piano, jazz and blues, played at a volume that lets people talk. Michael Curnow works Adelaide dining rooms, private events and corporate functions, and the improvisation is the point, so no two nights land the same way. The book runs through Fly Me to the Moon, The Way You Look Tonight, Misty, At Last, Moon River, Ain't No Sunshine and What a Wonderful World, with the occasional Beatles or Bob Marley turn. Birthday announcements and the like are no trouble. If you want atmosphere rather than a show, this is that.
Watch
The show
Solo piano at a volume people can talk over, which is the whole idea. Michael plays the popular jazz book and improvises through it, so no two nights come out identical even with the same songs. The aim is a room that feels right rather than a set the audience has to sit and watch. Announcements are no bother either, a birthday or an anniversary called out mid evening. Good for a dining room, a corporate function or a private night where you want atmosphere doing the work.
