Powell taps Tanin again for solo piano project
It's a safe bet that Roger Powell -- who you know most likely from his work with Todd Rundgren's Utopia -- is not the guy you think of when you think of instrumental piano music. But that's exactly what his latest solo disc, "Blue Note Ridge" (on Fossil Poet Records), is. The record was co-produced and engineered by veteran Milwaukee musician, producer and engineer Gary Tanin.
