About
Nocturne – Easy Listening Piano Solos is the online edition of “ALONE ON A HILLTOP – 17 Piano Solos for restaurant musicians”. These easy listening piano solos were all regularly performed from 1976 – 1986 at fully licensed restaurants where a door charge covered the cost of hiring the musician. Thus, Plimmer House (‘Boulcott Street Bistro’ in 2020), the former Settlement Restaurant in Willis Street, Orsini’s Restaurant (‘Saigon Van’ in 2020) in Cuba Street and Le Normandi Restaurant in Cuba Mall (all in Wellington, plus several in Sydney) were venues where these solos were performed. While this volume contains fewer solos than the original edition, those subsequently arranged into ‘landscape instrumental’ tracks on various CDs will be available in upcoming Easy Listening Piano Solo editions matching the CD titles.
