“frankly, a hell of a lot of fun to listen to.”
Praised for his “careful shadings of color, rhythmic precision and resounding sense of character” (Boston Classical Review), American pianist Alexander Crosett has performed throughout the United States and in Canada, Europe and Asia.
Crosett’s genre-crossing work as a musician and teacher has been recognized in multiple fields of the performing arts. A laureate of the Osaka International Music Competition and graduate of Manhattan School of Music, he is equally at home in the concert hall, theater, classroom, and recording studio. He has served as a professor at Boston Conservatory at Berklee since 2018.
“Excellent playing of a varied program.”
American Excursions is a critically acclaimed album of piano music spanning almost eighty years of classical composers' excursions into blues, folk, hip-hop, jazz, musical theater, samba, tango, techno and other genres.
Each piece goes beyond mere stylistic imitation, cultivating an authentic expressivity within a transcribed musical language rooted in the Americas.
