Called "the composer with the widest range of any of his generation" by critic Kyle Gann, Carl's newest release, Shake the Tree is resonant testament to that range. This set piano works embodies his creative energy and imagination, and even though he considers himself a modest pianist, the keyboard is a playground where he can try out his most radical, whimsical and grand ideas.
