Product description

Richard Beirach's "Hubris" is a captivating solo piano album that showcases the American jazz pianist and composer's exceptional talent and introspective approach to music. Recorded in June 1977 at Tonstudio Bauer in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and released on ECM Records in 1978, this album is a testament to Beirach's ability to create evocative and meditative soundscapes. With a runtime of just under 40 minutes, "Hubris" features nine tracks, each offering a unique blend of contemplative melodies and intricate improvisations. The album's title track, "Hubris," along with other standout pieces like "Koan," "Osiris," and "The Pearl," demonstrate Beirach's mastery of the piano and his knack for crafting engaging, thought-provoking compositions. "Hubris" is a must-listen for fans of ECM's signature spacious sound and those seeking a deeper appreciation for the art of solo piano jazz.

This is a 1984 Reissue released as a LP.
