Trio Arc is an album by bassist Mario Pavone, pianist Paul Bley and drummer Matt Wilson recorded in 2007 and released on the Playscape label.[1]
Allmusic stated it was "A must-have for lovers of this kind of spontaneous composition; this is not so much a throwback to the '60s as a modern update, and a welcome one indeed".For All About Jazz, music critic Robert Iannapollo said, "Trio Arc is a disc of music as timeless and innovative as only a piano trio can be".[2] On the same site Troy Collins called it "A modern classic, Trio Arc is a superlative and timeless example of free improvisations".[3] JazzTimes reviewer Steve Greenlee wrote, "Their jazz is free but with rhythm and a sense—a hint—of swing. This feeling of tethered freedom pervades Pavone’s excellent new record, which reunites him with his old comrade Bley on their first recording together in 35 years ... It is a beautifully odd amalgam of sounds, and it leaves the listener wanting more".[4]
All compositions by Mario Pavone, Paul Bley and Matt Wilson except where noted.
