• DIGIPACK EDITION

Zealous Angles is the first documentation of pianist/composer Matt Mitchell’s long-running trio featuring bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Dan Weiss. Pi Recordings’ not-so-secret weapon, Mitchell now has six releases as a leader or co-leader and fourteen appearances on the label. His 2024 release Illimitable (on his and Kate Gentile's Obliquity Records) was called “one of greatest albums of spontaneously composed solo piano music, ever…. a masterpiece of twenty-first century solo piano music” by The Free Jazz Collective. His last release on Pi – Snark Horse, co-led with drummer Gentile – was described by Downbeat as “a monumental collection of improvised and composed electro-acoustic music that no matter how wild it gets, never makes anything less than musical sense.
