"Singularity," released in 2014 on Prova Records, is a captivating journey into the world of contemporary European jazz, masterfully crafted by Belgian pianist Michel Bisceglia. This album showcases the mature yet playful style of Bisceglia, who, along with his long-standing trio featuring Werner Lauscher on bass and Marc Lehan on drums, delivers a collection of nine intricately composed tracks that blend acid jazz and traditional jazz elements seamlessly.
The album opens with "Puccini," setting the tone for the sophisticated and melodic journey that follows. Each track, from the bluesy "Meaning of the Blues" to the introspective "Lonely Woman," reveals Bisceglia's deep musicality and his ability to weave complex compositions with a sense of spontaneity and joy. "Singularity," the title track, stands out as a testament to the trio's synergy and Bisceglia's compositional prowess.
Bisceglia, born into a family of Italian origin, began his musical journey at the age of six, formally training on the classical piano from the age of twelve. His rich background and extensive experience shine through in every note, making "Singularity" a standout addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection. The album's 56-minute duration is filled with moments of brilliance, making it a timeless piece in the contemporary jazz genre.
