Mirage

The esteemed pianist Andrew Moorhead is in the company of Francois Moutin and Ari Hoenig for these 7 personal tracks that focus on time signatures, melodic cycles and the space between muscle memory and unfiltered spontaneity.

"Faster Etudes" starts with Moorhead's quick keys and Hoenig's frisky drums that help cultivate a mesmerizing start, and "Intro Tune" follows with 8+ minutes of melodic gestures and meticulous dynamics that make great use of Moutin's animated bass.

"Phased Voice" lands in the middle and radiates a dreamy approach that's cautious and swirling with harmonics, while "Mirage" illustrates intimacy between the trio, where the mature keys, crisp drums and strategic bass make an indelible impression.

"Boogie" exits and will indeed get your body moving to the bouncy and playful rhythm of the charming finish.

Moorhead's music is always evolving, and in this setting, it emits an intellectual and striking jazz language that is entirely his own.
