Album Notes & Community Reviews
A landmark album from one of the most acclaimed and innovative piano trios of the 21st century. 'Accelerando' is a powerful exploration of rhythm and groove, featuring brilliant re-imaginings of songs by artists as diverse as Michael Jackson, Duke Ellington, and the electronic duo Flying Lotus. The trio's incredible, near-telepathic interplay and their ability to deconstruct and rebuild complex rhythmic structures make this a thrilling and intellectually stimulating listen.
