Edward Elzear “Zez” Confrey was a musical phenomenon. Precocious, immensely talented, with a natural fluency at the keyboard, he became a major celebrity after publishing his most famous piece, Kitten on the Keys. Critically acclaimed pianist Eteri Andaparidze perfectly captures the idiom of these Jazz Age bon-bons.

Included on this recital of the piano works of “Zez” Confrey is a selection of pieces dating from 1921 to 1959. From the justly famous Kitten on the Keys and the syncopated novelties Dizzy Fingers and Meandering to the urbane, evocative and frequently virtuoso Moods of a New Yorker Confrey’s music captures a musical world full of the energy and optimism of a young America.
