The lyrical and dense trio of pianist Rob Clearfield!A road companion of Makaya McCraven on stage and on record, pianist Rob Clearfield steps out of the shadows with an album that reveals the strength and originality of his talent. In a trio with double bassist Joe Sanders, his childhood friend, and drummer Fred Pasqua, or in a quartet with Israeli trumpeter Itamar Borochov, the American pianist presents a dense and captivating opus as carefully produced as it is sensitively arranged, reconciling the creative heritage of the Chicago scene, of which he is one of its most fertile offspring, with a sense of lyricism that strikes straight to the heart. Includes two tracks produced by Makaya.
