Daring, intense and full of surprises! Joanne Brackeen's Popsicle Illusion sets a new standard with this remarkable solo piano recording of original compositions and classics, where something new is created with every note. From the odd-meter stride version of "If I Were a Bell" to the introspective, chamber-like "Michelle" to the Bud Powell-meets-Prokofiev "High Tea For Stephany", Joanne once again shows her compositional creativity and musical mastery.
