Review by Carl Frederick

Streetwise is an album that showcases the exceptional musical talent of Richard Kastle, an American composer and pianist. The album features a collection of original compositions that are a blend of classical, jazz, and contemporary music. The compositions are complex, yet accessible, and the melodies are hauntingly beautiful.

The album opens with "Streetwise," a piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It features a catchy melody that is both upbeat and energetic. The piece is followed by "Dancing in the Dark," a slower piece that showcases Kastle's ability to create beautiful melodies. The track is a perfect example of Kastle's ability to mix classical and contemporary music.

The album also features several solo piano pieces, including "Rainy Day Blues" and "After Hours." These pieces are slower and more introspective, allowing Kastle to showcase his virtuosity on the piano. The album also features several pieces that are more upbeat, such as "Funky Town" and "Groove Street." These pieces showcase Kastle's ability to blend jazz and contemporary music.
