Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating with cellist Anja Lechner and trumpeter Arkady Shilkloper, the Ukrainian-born pianist delivers an incredibly delicate, classically-informed chamber jazz record. The spacious, largely improvised acoustic arrangements radiate the calm, peaceful melancholy synonymous with the ECM label.
