Night

Pianist Simone Dinnerstein and singer-songwriter Tift Merritt join forces for the first time in NIGHT, a unique collaboration merging classical, folk, and rock worlds, exploring common terrain and uncovering new musical landscapes.<br>NIGHT features new songs written especially for the duo by Brad Mehldau (I Shall Weep at Night) and Patty Griffin (Night), as well as Tift Merritt's own songs (Only in Songs, Still Not Home, Colors, Feel of the World), and classical selections (an arrangement of Schubert's Night and Dreams, Bach's Prelude in B minor). The album also includes the world premiere recording of The Cohen Variations by Daniel Felsenfeld, a solo piano piece commissioned by Dinnerstein based on one of her favorite songs, Leonard Cohen's Suzanne.
