America Again
Lara Downes
Popular Bay Area pianist Lara Downes’ latest release is an album of music for solo piano that embraces America in all its forms. The title “America Again” comes from a Langston Hughes poem, “Let America be America Again”. Composers on this inclusive compilation run the gamut from female and male, to white, black, and Latino, to gay and straight.
