It is so good to hear another new single from the master pianist and composer Michael Dulin, I still remember my induction into the music and creations of the artist, for me that happened way back in 2003 and an album called Atmospheres, however here today and some 22 years later I gaze lovingly at this chilled new composition entitled Shimmer and Fade.

Dulin is master of his art, at one time even toured with the one and only Temptations as their keyboardist. Here on this brand new single he gifts us a moment in a lounge bar, or coffee shop, and as we gaze out into the spring pathways and alleys, we can watch the sun glisten on the cobble stones, then hide behind the odd errant cloud, as we caress our senses with this beautiful soft and mesmeric jazz piano manifestation.

Shimmer and Fade has some of the softest and most tender touches you’re ever likely to hear, and indeed if this track had of been 10 minutes long I would have still been transfixed by its graceful tones and gentle beauty. If any song needs to be a huge hit it’s Shimmer and Fade by Michael Dulin, simply put, if this song doesn’t grace the high echelons of the charts I will be stunned, this is solo jazz piano at its very best, and chicken soup for the soul.
