GRAMMY®-considered pianist and composer Michael Dulin shines with his latest solo piano masterpiece, “Shimmer and Fade.” A reflective and emotionally rich meditation on the fleeting nature of life, the piece is now up for GRAMMY® consideration in the Best Jazz Performance category—a moment that marks another high point in Dulin’s celebrated career.
The Birmingham, Alabama–based artist composed, produced, and performed the track himself, showcasing his exquisite touch and signature blend of technical brilliance and heartfelt expression. Released via Equity Digital, the piece is accompanied by a beautifully shot performance video, available here.
At the same time, Dulin’s first contemporary jazz single, “Slow Burn,” is turning up the heat on playlists nationwide, combining passionate piano work with sensual Latin rhythms that have been climbing the charts.
“In life, we experience unforgettable moments that shimmer in your memory forever, and all the other ‘stuff’ that fades away,” Dulin reflects. “Like us – we shimmer for a brief time, then fade away from this mortal plane.”
Fans and critics alike have praised “Shimmer and Fade” for its depth and artistry:
“Deeply introspective… music created in the middle of the night while soul-searching at the piano.” – Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano
“Like a star, the music shimmers with unparalleled elegance and fades with a truly appreciable grace.” – Keith Hannaleck, MuzikMan Reviews
“Solo jazz piano at its very best.” – Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio
With a career spanning twelve albums, collaborations with legends like The Temptations, and accolades including multiple Lifestyle Achievement Awards, Dulin continues to enchant audiences with music that connects deeply and lingers long after the last note fades.
A GRAMMY® nomination, he says, would be one more shimmering moment in a lifetime devoted to creating beauty through sound:
“It would show that there’s still a place for the simple voice of a piano in this noisy and busy world. And that traditional jazz is something that matters.”
