ABOUT

This is Bazel’s third CD and the latest example of his creative process, defined as constantly hearing melodies in his head and recording them on-the-spot using his iPhone. For The London Sessions, Bazel took 223 song ideas and boiled them down to the 10 melodies heard on the album, available from his New Thought Records label.

Ed Bazel, an award-winning solo pianist and founder of The River of Calm online radio network, is releasing (Oct. 7, 2022) The London Sessions: Reflections From Studio 2, a collection of 12 soothing, romantic melodies recorded in June 2022 at Abbey Road Studios’ famed Studio 2.

On recording at Abbey Road Studios, Bazel says, “It was prolific. Walking down those stairs to Studio 2, I thought of the many greats who have walked before me: The Beatles. Pink Floyd. Adele. Ed Sheeran. Breathing in the vibrations of this big huge studio. Seeing this Steinway concert grand piano they set up for me in the exact footprint in that back left corner of the studio where the Beatles set up for their recordings. Playing my songs and recording, I felt this is where I belong. I am beyond thankful for having this opportunity.”
