Callithump

Callithump is a solo album by pianist Uri Caine which was released in February 2014 on the Winter & Winter label.

Reception
Writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, John Shand observed "the American prefers to remind us of the wonder of the piano being equally capable of a delicacy so diaphanous that it rivals a harp. Meanwhile its phenomenal range and harmonic and dynamic potential make it the solo instrument par excellence... This direct-to-two-track analogue recording captures all the dynamism of his solo playing. It seduces with what ABC Classic FM would call "swoon" music, dazzles with invention and bullies with 88-note cyclones". PopMatters' Will Layman stated "Callithump is both atypically normal and classic Caine... the stylistic range and sense of genre is massive, all-engulfing. And fantastic... Ultimately, you come to the end of Callithump exhilarated with the possibilities of a piano, a man, a space".
