Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Robert Fripp, 'Blueprint' features the pianist leading a stripped-down ensemble through rigorous, manic free improvisations. The recording pushes the boundaries of avant-garde jazz, favoring spontaneous, often ominous instrumental dialogues over predetermined structures. It stands as a pivotal document of the European free jazz movement intersecting with the experimental fringes of British progressive music.
