'The singular sound you'll hear on Robert Prester's 'Dogtown' is the delightful result of a lifetime's devotion to the piano and to creative composition. Robert Prester's 4th recording of his original jazz, 'Dogtown, ' combines his remarkable fluency and virtuosity at the piano, with intriguingly original writing. A confluence of styles and influences all come together, from bebop to samba, salsa to classical, creating a sophisticated and seamless blend of composed and improvised elements. As a composer and pianist, Prester continues to create a sound all his own, and this disk should be a giant step toward greater recognition of his talents.'
