ROBERT F. TRUCIOS - "From the Lobby of the Cooper Arms - Long Beach, California "

 

Album Notes

The piano, a bruised Brambach baby grand lies at rest in a quiet corner of the still majestic grand lobby of the Cooper Arms, one of a handful of resort high-rise beach apartments and hotels to pop up on the shoreline of Long Beach in the 1920’s. This cool ornate interior serves as a communal living room, echoing with activity and sheltering the building’s residents and visitors from the noise of the world outside.

I descend the elevator, say my hellos and walk to the corner of the lobby, music in hand.

I sit down and play for a while.

 

- Robert F. Trucios, Piano
