2 Blues For Cecil features three legends of modern improvised music, trumpeter Enrico Rava, bassist William Parker and drummer Andrew Cyrille. Rava and Cyrille are among the elders of improvised music with their careers going back to the 1960s whereas Parker rose to prominence during New York's loft jazz era of the 1970s. Other than this, they share one major link in their respective careers. Namely, they all have, at various times, been members of late pianist Cecil Taylor's Unit or other ensembles.Enrico Rava, William Parker and Andrew Cyrille first performed together as a trio in tribute to Cecil Taylor, with Taylor himself present, at the Whitney museum in April 2016 as part of an exhibit/program under the heading "Open Plan: Cecil Taylor." 2 Blues For Cecil was recorded on February 1 and 2 at Studio Ferber in Paris following the trio's concert on December 31, 2020 under the heading "Tribute to Cecil Taylor" as part of the Sons D'Hiver festival.

On Clustrophy, Finnish saxophonist Mikko Innanen leads his multinational and multitalented quintet, Innkvisitio, through inventive bursts of forward-looking jazz that not once goes for the obvious. Innkvisitio consists of drummer Joonas Riippa, keyboardist Seppo Kantonen and three saxophonists: Fredrik Ljunqvist (of Sweden), Daniel Erdmann (of Germany) and Innanen, who is quickly establishing himself on the international jazz scene. Clustrophy is firmly rooted in the history of modern jazz and at the same time forward-looking - or "retro-futuristic", as Innanen puts it. The album-opener "Earth's Second Moon" sets the tone: Riippa's drumming and Kantonen's cosmic electronics provide the perfect bedrock for the three saxophonists to do their thing. Tracks: 1. Earth's Second Moon 2. Vraa-Tender 3. Clustrophy 4. a Panoramic View from the Top Floor 5. Underground 6. The Grey Adler Returns Again 7. Ardennes at Dawn 8. Jantaraboon II 9.
