. . . my latest digital-download-only release "2014" becomes available to the public at large. It seems like a lifetime since I started this project and finally, it's now only two days away. You can get it at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/RayJozwiak.
2014, like its predecessor Black & White Then Back Again, 2006's Put A Finger On It and my debut release Chromatose, consists of solo, acoustic piano performances exclusively. The compositions are all original, and though they are based in jazz (and contain substantial amounts of improvisation), they also encompass a variety of musical styles while conveying a range of emotions.

The message is uplifting - speaking straight to the human condition. Intimate, thought-provoking and on occasion, wryly humorous, Wilcox delivers music that will stick in your head — as well as your heart…
