Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
George Maurer credits his parents' act of rescuing a dilapidated 1913 upright piano from a barn of ill repute (it had been used to seduce chickens and cows) and on its way to an auction in the back of an old pickup truck as his earliest "intimate experience" with a piano. That was 1972, and now that piano is being lovingly restored by George. He makes his music close to his home and his heart, and people all across the world have been making it a part of their lives ever since his solo piano debut, "Behind the Pine Curtain," in 1986. The sound of the Pine Curtain and George Maurer have recieved such recognitions as nomination for "Best Jazz/Mainstream Album of the Year" for the Minnesota Music Awards, 1998 NACA "Jazz Entertainer of the Year" nationwide, and the "Top 25 Albums of the Year 1997" (Wind & Wire Magazine) for "Land of Rest". Concert tours have carried the sound of the Pine Curtain from coast to coast, from Canada to the Carribean, and even to members of Congress and the White House. Nationally syndicated jazz networks, and Public Radio all carry the music of George Maurer to the nation. Warm music, with softly comic tales and stories from the road behind the music (detailed in all liner notes on George's albums) make for a rich and emotional experience when you listen to the music of pianist George Maurer.
