After spending 14 years integrating into New York’s sprawling jazz scene London
pianist John Escreet relocated to Los Angeles in 2020, and if his first ever
trio recording is any indication, the new city suits him. As activity began
resuming during the pandemic he paired up with the explosive rhythm section of
bassist Eric Revis and drummer Damion Reid, and Seismic Shift captures the new
combo operating at the highest level, easily moving between vibrant post-bop,
particularly on a jacked-up interpretation of the Stanley Cowell classic
‘Equipoise’, and the sort of extroverted explosions that marked some of Don
Pullen’s finest recordings. The rhythm section, for whom Escreet composed the
rugged ‘RD’, doesn’t merely support the pianist’s most outward bound and
shape-shifting inclinations, but it also pushes and pulls, operating as a
deeply agile, high-energy entity that can stop on a dime, drop accents, or
suddenly switch its feel in an instant. Reid has earned a reputation as a kind
of human MPC and while he does provide that sort of superhuman rhythmic
presence here and there, he channels his abilities to fit this particular
context, swinging with clarity and grace when necessary, as on the
comparatively measured ‘Perpetual Love’. Escreet is one of the more peripatetic
pianists at work today, regularly changing his stylistic prerogative on his
albums, but few endeavors have so ably demonstrated his prodigious talents.
