John Escreet – Seismic Shift (Grey Marble Vinyl)

2LP – 180 Gram Vinyl / Handnumbered Edition limited to 300 Units

Pianist John Escreet, hailed by Time Out London as a “transatlantic jazz genius,” continues his artistic ascent with the bold, exploratory new album Seismic Shift. The UK native teams up with Eric Revis (bass) and Damion Reid (drums) for a set brimming with fire and invention. Seismic Shift offers ground-shaking evidence that Escreet ranks as one of the top pianist-auteurs of our time. The album gives what the title implies: it involves tumult, rupture, earthquake. Escreet and his colleagues unleash a lot of power, whether freely improvising, sculpting sound with extended techniques, or for that matter playing elegant tonal harmony.
