Album Notes

a terrific pianist … truly great songs, very well played.”
Peter Duchin

STAN WIEST began his lifetime career as a six year old carving his name into the wood of the upright piano his family had as a protest to having to practice piano. This attitude abruptly changes when at twelve he fell in love with his new piano teacher. She inspired him to practice long hours and encouraged his musicianship by taking him to classical concerts. Out of this puppy love a career was born. Stan graduated from Hofstra University on full piano scholarship with a brilliant classical piano concert for his musical graduation requirement playing Scarlatti, Schumann, Debussy and Franz Liszt.

As a performer in the late 60’s Stan played all the major hotel and supper clubs in Manhattan.From The Apartment,Gatsby's ,The Royal Box,The Carousel Room,The Mermaid Room at the Park Sheraton Hotel,The Carlton House Hotel to the entire piano bar circuit in Manhattan and Long Island. He also appeared as a supper club pianist on the soap opera “Another World Bay City” and “Another World Somerset” on NBC television. In the same era he was performing on stage Off-Broadway and in several movies. After that period his performances moved to the country clubs and yacht clubs of Long Island and the tri-state area. What then began as simple recommending of a few musicians when Stan was already booked for parties exploded into a full time agency - A.WIEST ENTERTAINMENT GROUP which is extant to this day.Stan is President and CEO of this agency but has never stopped performing as orchestra leader and also as solo pianist.

"...this album is a culmination of all the years of maturing as a soloist and orchestra leader enhanced by the many years of classical training. " Stan Wiest

On November 30 , 2012, Stan recorded at Orpheus Studios in Manhattan for 8 hours. He was offered two ways to record: One result would be a CD recording that sounded like it was done in the studio. The second way, which was more difficult, would sound as if the piano was in the car or room with you when you played the CD. Stan chose this method, resulting in a dramatically increased presence in the sound of the piano, it sounds like you are right next to the piano when you play the CD. This method of recording allowed no overdubs, each track had to be recorded straight through from beginning to end. The resulting sound, on a fantastic Yamaha Grand Piano, is an elegant journey through Stan’s piano arrangements and interpretations. When listening to this CD one can hear all the echoes of years of training. The finesse and grandeur of a truly classical training blaze forth in glorious details in finger dexterity.

STAN WIEST has put his personal arrangements and piano artistry to great songs such as "All The Things You Are" , "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square", "You Were Meant For Me", "Singing In The Rain","Where Or When", "East Of The Sun", "Lovely Way To Spend An Evening", "You're Sensational"

, "Use Your Imagination", "I'll Buy You A Star", "I Know Why And So Do You", "The Way You Look Tonight", "Night And Day"

The video below features STAN WIEST playing on Eddy Duchin's piano which he owns.
