Question
Hi there.

I recently ran across the piece "Everyday" by Carly  Comando and I absolutely fell in love with it.

I have yet to find something that seems so driving and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to similar pieces.

Thanks.

Answer
Stephanie,
I'm an expert in Classical Music and this piece doesn't fit into that category at all.  However, in racking my brain to think of any pianist that sounds like Carly Comando, Keith Jarrett was the only name I can think of who does the same kind of improvising, although the music he plays has a wide range of diversity.  I believe that he is classified a a jazz pianist, although he does a lot of crossover into other styles.
