Pianist-composer G. F. Mlely has been featured artist and composer in concert, festival, and club venues throughout Europe and the United States. In the much published article, "G. F. Mlely, A Trail Of Endurance" journalist Nathan Gold described how in 1983 the jazz pianist-composer, with an album in Top 10 airplay, was on a solo piano concert tour of Europe, when midway along he received information that caused him to suddenly abandon the tour due to personal circumstances, and to leave off playing professionally for nearly two decades.
As of this writing, however, with two new solo piano albums, Re-Entry [2000] and 88 Keys And Counting [2002], and one trio album, A Little Night Waltz [2003], Mlely has returned, and, as AllAboutJazz.com staff reviewer John Kelman writes, Mlely is, quite simply, back, and with a vengeance." Mlely challenges the notion that the new only comes from the young. "He has literally created his own harmonic language," notes Kelman.
Mlely is, additionally, author of essays (www.jazcraft.net/essaysmenu.html) and commentaries (www.jazcraft.net/archives.html) on the art, field, and politics of jazz and songwriting. He is author of a book, "New Music And The American Christian - A Critical Look," freely accessible online at www.jazcraft.net/nmatacsegments.html; and author of "The 8-Tone Quarto-Modes Concept," information about which can be found at www.jazcraft.net/8tone.html, a theoretical work which introduces a newly identified chord he proves out as the "diminished major."
