Piano Players Of The 50'S Full Size Grand
A piano bar was literally a bar set up around a full size grand piano. It was NOT a poor pianist setting by himself in a corner somewhere playing strictly background music.No, he was the center of attention either right in the middle of the room or it was a classic piano bar in a lounge. Sort of like how EDM and DJ music is nearly taking over Classic rock these days.I don't see cocktail piano ever fully going away, and I would most certainly hope that it enjoys a resurgence (in as far as those old wonderful standards go) but it seems to me to be losing its targeted audience in the extreme, which can be evidenced here in the mention of "new standards" (Elton John, et al) replacing the older standards.Anyway, just a theory as food for thought?What's missing is this discussion is a definition of what cocktail piano really was.
