Paul Bley - Fragments (1986)

Icy, drifting sounds from a quartet of topnotch ECM musicians led by Canadian pianist Paul Bley. While Bley lets his free jazz roots take hold in spots, and there's certainly an exploratory freedom throughout, these are mostly sparse, moody, eerily restrained compositions, some of which are reworked arrangements of songs from his acclaimed solo album, Open, to Love.
