Kristjan Randalu, Ben Monder & Markku Ounaskari - Absence CD | Jazz Fusion Album | Perfect for Relaxation, Study & Music Lovers

Estonian pianist Kristjan Randalu makes his ECM debut with a striking album of his own rigorous-yet-lyrical music, sensitively played by a trio formed especially for this recording, with US guitarist Ben Monder and Finnish drummer Markuu Ounaskari. As an improviser of prodigious technique, once described by Herbie Hancock as "a dazzling piano player", Randalu's affinities are with the jazz musicians, but the forms and dynamics of his pieces also reflect a discerning sense of structure.
