As a young pianist, Nurock performed with Phil Woods, Sonny Stitt and Chet Baker. His 1st solo record was produced in 1976 by saxophonist Arnie Lawrence on Adamo records.
Now, returning to his roots, Nurock is celebrating the release of "Still At Sea" on KOCH JAZZ--all piano solo [KOC-CD 7802], executive produced by Donald Elfman. His previous CD on KOCH is "remembering tree friends," with Bobby Previte on drums and Harvie Swartz, bass [KOC CD 7858].
"He is in essence a true jazz performer, composing as he improvises. Kirk’s impressions are masterpieces." -Downbeat Magazine
Mr. Nurock is so intriguing
a pianist that labels such as ‘jazz’ and ‘classical’
are irrelevant."
- New York Times
