Illimitable by Matt Mitchell
“Matt Mitchell has long established himself as one of the foremost creative pianists of our time. Illimitable marks his long-awaited return to the solo format and may well be his most impressive statement to date. In fact, I am convinced that this is one of greatest albums of spontaneously composed solo piano music... well, ever.
…a masterpiece of twenty-first century solo piano music.”
-João Esteves da Silva at The Free Jazz Collective
"Matt Mitchell’s Illimitable, an album of spontaneously improvised solo piano pieces that is the most astonishing example of the form in 50 years"
-Will Layman at PopMatters
