Stanley Cowell Trio - Illusion Suite: ECM Luminessence Series (Vinyl LP)

Stanley Cowell Trio Illusion Suite Reissued for the ECM Luminessence Series on LP.

On Illusion Suite, “the charms are quiet,” as Down Beat put it, reviewing the album in 1974, “It creeps up on you and hits you in the ear in subtle ways. Things you hadn’t noticed keep jumping out. This album most directly and accurately pictures [Stanley Cowell’s] fresh keyboard approach.” On the album – Cowell’s only recording for ECM – the pianist’s trio is completed by Stanley Clarke on bass and Jimmy Hopps on drums.

ECM Luminessence Series is a kaleidoscope, shedding light on the jewels of the label’s deep catalog in elegant, high-quality editions. The recordings underline the scope and variety of ECM’s world of sound.
