Andrew Moorhead - Mirage (2026)

Pianist & composer Andrew Moorhead offers a strikingly personal suite of etudes. Music born of inquiry, discipline, and risk, these pieces explore phased time signatures, interlocking melodic cycles, and the elusive space between muscle memory and pure spontaneity. Moorhead's long pursuit of "total liberation" at the piano culminates here in a personal language where skeletal gestures bloom into fluid counterpoint. The result is music that feels at once architectural and airborne. Finding the perfect bandmates in the towering bassist François Moutin, and one of the most idiosyncratic drummers in jazz, Ari Hoenig, their deep rapport generates a kinetic, almost telepathic interplay. Vividly balancing intellect and intuition, Mirage stands as a bold trio statement and a compelling new chapter in Moorhead's evolving voice.

"I thought I'd heard just about every approach to the piano, then Andrew Moorhead's new album came along…it's a great reminder that true originality is still out there." (Scott Kinsey)
