The story behind the album…
An American pianist/songwriter performing his nightly solo piano gig at a small piano bar in Florida is discovered by a London record producer on holiday from England. The record producer likes what he hears and plans to fly the piano player to London to record an album of piano music… but soon discovers that this piano player is also a songwriter - and is quite impressed after hearing a few demos of his unpublished original songs.
Within weeks of arriving back in London, and after consulting with friends and associates, the record producer decides to produce and record an entire album of the piano player’s original songs. Suddenly, over the next few months, this relatively unknown pianist/songwriter finds himself heavily involved in a major recording project: an album featuring and showcasing the music and lyrics of seventeen of his songs brought to life by the beautiful arrangements of the legendary British arranger and conductor, Pete Moore, the performances of four incredible vocalists (backed by the 32-piece Pete Moore Orchestra), and the musical talents of world class musicians and recording engineers.
The pianist/songwriter is John Ryan, the London record producer is Peter Clayton of Robinwood Productions Ltd., and the album, entitled “Words Alone…” was launched at 'Live in the Park", Hyde Park London in November of 2005. The album has already received airplay and been featured in the press and on several BBC and American radio and television programs.
