about

“Undeniably introspective, this is nonetheless music with an extrovert muscularity and stark physicality that would make it hard to ignore in performance. “
BBC

“Filled with cantilevered rhythms, intertwining melodies and oblique harmonies, Harvesting Semblances and Affinities is one of the strongest albums of Coleman’s career and compelling proof of his continued importance in the development of contemporary jazz.”
All About Jazz

“…he has quietly influenced generations of musicians; his ideas, once viewed as offbeat and inaccessible, have become crucial to the musics contemporary language. Because of this his forthcoming CD, Harvesting Semblances and Affinities (Pi), sounds fresh and vital while also of a piece with its time and place.”
Jazz Times

Lehman's most emotional and most beautiful album to date. This album manages to be complex and extremely interesting to listen to while also feeling like a strong expression of emotion. Lehman's trio is incredible as usual, and they synergize perfectly with Craig Taborn. rat

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

Amazing and immersive. Constructed with such forward motion I forgot where I was and nearly got run over by traffic. Doesn’t get better than that. EmmaH
