Details:
Silence, it has been said, is more eloquent than speech. Russ Lossing's music, in this trio setting, grows out of silence - the space between thought and gesture - and explores its poetis ambiguities, elaborates upon its implied moods, energizes its hidden tensions. - Art Lange (excerpt from the album liner notes)

New york based jazz pianist, composer and recording artist Russ Lossing is known worldwide for his highly personal and unique improvising voice. Lossing has composed over 400 works and has an international reputation as a world class improviser. Lossing has nine releases as leader on Hat Hut, Clean Feed, Fresh Sound, Double Time and OmniTone record labels. His critically acclaimed new solo piano release âAll Things Ariseâ on Hat Hut Records âbridges the worlds of jazz and new music, the pieces feeling as if they arise out of the primal silence of the universe. Even the âstandardsâ feel as if theyâre emerging newly formed from a magnificent world of thought and impulse.â Lossingâs Fresh Sound release,âPhrase 6â has quickly become a cult classic among musicians and his new cd âLine Upâ, a duo with bassist john hébert, has been hailed a âtour de forceâ.

ââ¦The pianist illuminates the silence, suspends the time, and intensifies the collective flux. The wealth of his harmonic knowledge, the fluidity of his phrasing and his attention to the weight of every single note creates a sound palette for endless pleasures.â
