16th September 2022: ‘Perpetual Love’ from John Escreet’s ‘Seismic Shift’ out now
The third single – ‘Perpetual Love’ – from John Escreet’s Seismic Shift is out today.
Listen to ‘Perpetual Love’ here.
Seismic Shift is Escreet’s new breathtaking trio album featuring the incomparable drum and bass team of Eric Revis and Damion Reid and will be released October 7. This new record offers ground-shaking evidence that Escreet, with his limitless technique, harmonic imagination and refined grasp of the improviser’s art, ranks as one of the top pianist-auteurs of our time. The world of Seismic Shift is on one level what the title implies: it involves tumult, rupture, earthquake. Escreet and his colleagues unleash a lot of power, whether freely improvising, sculpting sound with extended techniques, or for that matter playing elegant tonal harmony. “Any music I present needs to be varied,” Escreet says. “There needs to be beauty alongside the wild moments, moments of tonality against moments of abstraction. Most of all, any idea put forward, whether composed or improvised, needs to have clarity and purpose.”
The full album will be released on October 7 on CD / DL and 180 gram limited edition vinyl
