Simone Dinnerstein An American Mosaic (Supertrain Records) It s a funny year, I was just talking about it with my son actually. For myself, I feel like a very strange combination of having been completely inactive and didn t achieve all the things I wanted to achieve, pianist Simone Dinnerstein remembers, and on the other hand, having produced two albums, which is like way more than I would ever do in a normal year.
