From the Press Release, DL Media:
"On her new album, Glass Song, Moscow-born pianist/composer Yelena Eckemoff
celebrates the season of renewal that ushers winter into spring with a mesmerizing
set of crystalline beauty. In crafting this, the latest expression of her
gorgeously delicate blend of classical intricacy and jazz invention, Eckemoff
brings together two of modern music's greatest improvisers for the first time:
bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Peter Erskine.

The trio that Eckemoff has assembled to help realize these reflective visions is
composed of two of jazz's most creative minds--who remarkably had not worked
together prior to this recording. The legendary Erskine played with Weather Report
and Steps Ahead in the early years of a career that has now spanned four decades
and includes recordings and performances with everyone from Steely Dan to John
Abercrombie, Joni Mitchell to Gary Burton and Pat Metheny. Norwegian bassist,
Andersen, has an equally impressive resume, encompassing a six-year stint in the
Jan Garbarek Quartet and more than a dozen albums as a leader for ECM.

The combination works spectacularly, three distinctive voices seeming to breathe
as one. The sensitivity of Erskine and Andersen serves Eckemoff's fragile
compositions with an airy but sure touch. The lush serenity of the leader's piano
is matched by the singing caress of Andersen's bass and the hushed precision of
Erskine's percussion. The trio shares a deep intimacy while remaining attuned to
the spaciousness of the pieces, all captured in the wondrously lush sound of the
recording."
