Paul Bley - Open To Love

180-gram vinyl

ECM Luminessence Series

Canadian Paul Bley is one of the most influential pianists in the history of jazz, his touch instantly recognizable. Bley's career, which now spans seven decades, has continued to be a reference for successive generations of musicians. This is unsurprising, given that the Canadian pianist has worked with "more first-rate, wide-ranging, original musical minds than anyone but Miles," as Down Beat put it. Bley's work has influenced many of the pianists on ECM, as well as countless musicians in the wider world.
One of the most influential recordings in the history of jazz piano, Paul Bley's solo album thoughtfully explores the compositions of Carla Bley and Annette Peacock.
