GLOW II by Pablo Held
"Pablo Held has been making richly poetic albums for a decade, and the German pianist is only 31 years old. Along with five records featuring his symbiotic trio with bassist Robert Landfermann and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel, Held produced the beautiful large-ensemble album Glow in 2010. For the worthy sequel, Held has varied the instrumentation, with guitar now adding more grain to a texture marked by horns, multiple basses, coloristic keyboards and, as its core, his trio. But Held's latest music weaves in some growl to go along with the glow." DOWNBEAT
