Pacific Drive

A breezy, uplifting piano journey by Ed Bazel that feels like driving up the Pacific Coast with the top down and the wind in your hair.

My missions is to present the full range & power of the piano used for my melodic, impressionistic works, I hired the brilliant engineer Leslie Ann Jones to mic and record the piano as never before at Skywalker Sound, and then arranged minimalistic accompanying instruments to simply paint upon the melodies created in this album, an ode to the quiet richness of Marin, CA. It brings me great joy to share with you my newest album, entitled A Weekend in Marin, a new collection of romantic piano melodies inspired by the quiet elegance of Northern California. Recorded at the legendary Skywalker Sound, nestled among the rolling hills and lush landscapes of Marin County, this album was born from a weekend where serenity, beauty, and inspiration all met in perfect harmony. The calm of the redwoods, the golden light over the bay, and the gentle stillness of Skywalker Sound all found their way into these compositions.

May this music accompany your own moments of escape, romance, and peace.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ed Bazel Pianist
