Album Notes & Community Reviews

This profoundly spacious ECM release documents a highly intuitive, completely improvised summit between three absolute masters of free jazz. 'Time Will Tell' brilliantly tempers Evan Parker's typically furious saxophone squalls with Paul Bley's delicate, highly deliberate piano phrasing and Barre Phillips's resonant bass tones. The resulting album is a breathtakingly patient, deeply conversational exploration of acoustic space.
