Nathan Golds story tells of how widowed fatherhood caused a rising jazz stars career to suddenly come to a halt midway through a European concert tour, that, along with subsequent injury, lasted nearly two decades, and of the musicians recent recorded reemergence to critical acclaim.
(PRWEB) January 25, 2004 --In 1983, jazz pianist-composer G. F. Mlely was on a solo piano concert tour of Europe, when midway along he received information that caused him to suddenly abandon the tour and, because of subsequent events, to leave off playing professionally for nearly two decades."
So begins journalist Nathan Golds article, G. F. MLELY, A TRAIL OF ENDURANCE, about the gifted musician and his reemergence after nearly two decades.
The article is published on several major jazz ezines, online addresses of some given at the end of this release.
Quoting from the article:
Mlelys 3rd album, 'Trio, according to a 'Jazz Times survey, was among the Top 10 most-played record albums in U.S. radio airplay at the time. He had just come from performing before an SRO crowd at BIM-House in Amsterdam, the largest and most prominent jazz venue in Holland, on his way to other venues in Europe....
Reviewers were writing great things... Long established jazz greats recognized Mlelys talent.... following a sold-out performance in Mons, Belgium,... scheduled into one of Europes largest jazz festivals,... suddenly, Mlely got the information that caused him to immediately return to the United States. The tour was canceled. He flew to California."
