but never over the top, and often quite beautiful. ” Karl Ackermann, All about jazz “ Each improvisation seems to emerge organically and with its own logic. An hour of relatively abstract piano might sound like a daunting prospect, but Travaglini’s meditations are sufficiently grounded and immediate to hold the most sceptical of listeners. ” Brian Morton, Jazz Journal (UK) “ Italian pianist Stefano Travaglini‘s Ellipse is a masterwork of improvised music. ” “ This melodic ear and Travaglini’s sense of pace makes Ellipse one of the best improvised works of 2017. A beautiful and adventurous recording. ” Matt Hooke, All about jazz “ A worthy entry into the solo piano genre of jazz .” Dan McClenaghan, All about jazz “ …Travaglini works Monk’s musical style into something that is uniquely his own. ” C.
