Originally released in 1966 on the legendary ESP-Disk' label, Closer is a landmark recording from the Paul Bley Trio that stands as one of the most compelling documents of avant-garde jazz from that era. The album showcases Paul Bley's deeply lyrical yet adventurous piano work, capturing a group at the forefront of free jazz exploration.
A highlight of Closer is its heavy focus on compositions by Carla Bley, who is credited on seven of the ten tracks, making this as much a showcase for her visionary songwriting as it is for the trio's improvisational chemistry. Now reissued by ESP-Disk' in 2017, this is an essential listen for fans of avant-garde and free jazz looking to explore one of the genre's most celebrated recordings.
