About

Toronto keyboardist R. Grunwald has played on sessions for hundreds of musicians, and has served as bandleader for jazz/pop chanteuse Jill Barber and country/folk songwriter Donovan Woods for the better part of a decade. Oma is an evocative and deeply personal solo piano record, inspired in part by the life story of his 96-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor and pianist.

Drawing from Erik Satie, Nils Frahm and others, Grunwald refers to his intensely melodic compositions as ‘extended minimalism.’ ‘After quitting piano, it was my Oma who inspired me to get back into it. She survived the Second World War moving from town to town, hiding from the Nazis, and the Russians in Poland. Music was the one thing that tied her young life together. This music is a tribute to her.’ Enjoy in a quiet environment.
