Ever since seeing Chilly Gonzales and the Le Together Ensemble at the ICA a couple of weeks back I’ve been digging through my old Gonzales albums and remembering how back in 2001 I was absolutely convinced ‘Take Me To Broadway’ was going to make him extremely famous (it didn’t). After a couple of years away tinkling the ivories, he’s back with his new album Soft Power, and it’s a little ray of sunshine.

Thing with Chilly is that he’s a big ol’ goof (obviously) but also a massive talent - check out this interview with him circa Solo Piano a few years back.

Full review of the show in June’s issue, so look out for that.
