CD A0060: Action Harp Play Set

Action Harp Play Set by Park Stickney

CD Cover: Action Harp Play Set by Park StickneyThe “ever nonconformist” Park Stickney has quite a sense of humor . . . and it shines through in his recordings. This CD is worth getting simply for its whimsical cover! Action Harp Play Set showcases some fine playing by Park on standards such as Morrison’s Moondance, and Lennon and McCartney’s Come Together. Mostly solo harp, Park is backed up on a few pieces by guitar, drums, voice and bass. Along with Park’s lyrical solo Swiss Miss and two Della Penna originals.

Although Park Stickney claims that it wasn’t his plan at the age of 10 to become a world-traveling jazz harpist, he did, in fact, embark on that path then by competing in the first International Jazz and Pop Harp Festival. Since then, after finishing his studies at the Juilliard School in New York, he has traveled across Europe, Asia and the U.S., as a soloist and teacher, as well as with a variety of ensembles whose music ranges from jazz to classical to rock.   ....
