Pianist Peter Rosendal’s new CD, OLD MAN’S KITCHEN, is made up of many surprising and diverse ingredients, all used with humor, warmth and virtuosity.

There are fresh meats, juicy steaks, coffee, cakes, vegetables, baked beans, an exotic sauce, strange spices, salt and pepper, and a few forgotten preserves from the b.......
