Jazz Poetry Month: Lucian Ban "Ways of Disappearing"

Ban has become known for his amalgamations of Transylvanian folk with improvisation, for his combining of 20th Century European classical music with jazz, and for his pursuit of a modern chamber jazz ideal. Developing a program of solo piano music is the ultimate challenge for any improvising pianist, and this album shows the kaleidoscopic breadth of Ban’s improvisatory and compositional styles wrapped in one spellbinding package.

Lucian will also collaborate and improvise with poets Yuriy Tarnawsky (Ukraine), Dmitry Bykov (Russia), Jorge Olivera Castillo (Cuba), and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo (Mexico).
