Part of the attraction of improvised music is the implicit show of trust between musicians as they push off into the unknown. The relationships within a working ensemble determine the music’s depth. Pianist John Escreet has established a deep rapport with his trio-mates bassist John Hébert and drummer Tyshawn Sorey over the past decade. On his new recording, The Unknown, Escreet utilizes their unique musical bond and also that of a more recent collaborator, the legendary saxophonist Evan Parker. Taken from live recordings made at European venues Bimhuis and Lantaren Venster, The Unknown reveals the incredible vistas that can be discovered between musicians of vast proficiency and trust.
