About
After three acclaimed ECM recordings with Louis Sclavis (Sources, Salt and Silk Melodies, and Characters on a Wall), each of them attesting his improvisational resourcefulness, French pianist Benjamin Moussay was invited to record a solo album.
Promontoire is the result, a thoughtful, reflective and profoundly lyrical album that is both a strikingly original statement and an admirable addition to ECM's distinguished solo piano series. Produced by Manfred Eicher, and recorded at Studios la Buissonne in January 2019.

Awards and reviews
July 2020
The press release invokes the name of Chopin at one point, but he was actually rhythmic as well as melodic and, despite a single fleeting hint of Jarrett in midimprovisation, Moussay fails to deliver anything very memorable here.
