Pianist Donal Fox can't be nailed down into one particular musical category. He grew up playing the music he loved, which was basically a mix of classical, jazz, funk, pop, and whatever else struck him as interesting. Sometimes he plays a tune that incorporates all these styles at once. For example, Fox might start in on a Bach piece, playing it at lightning speed like a concert pianist. Slowly he'll add the bass, drums and vibes, and eventually he takes the harmonies and starts riffing on them, moving from one century into the next. He joins Weekend America's John Moe to play some us of his fusion compositions.
