"Bill Anschell would be a badass wherever he lived... He is an impeccable, distinctive pianist with a valuable body of work..." - JazzTimes Over his vast & varied 40-year career, Bill Anschell has released six recordings under his own name, all being jazz projects featuring him solely on acoustic piano. "Improbable Solutions" changes all of that as Anschell blends the sounds of his acoustic jazz trio with layered electronics, creating unique and spacious soundscapes. His nine original compositions have an open sensibility, driven by memorable melodies and evocative grooves. Along with his long-time trio comrades - bassist Chris Symer and drummer Jose Martinez - Anschell adds electronic creations to accompany his acoustic piano, the stellar and searing guitarist Brian Monroney, percussionist Jeff Busch, and an adrenaline-soaked guest appearance by drummer KJ Sawka on the closing track."No matter where he plays on the keyboard, Anschell sounds like no other pianist." - JazzTimes
