“brainy and beautiful” – Nick Bewsey, ICON

“Her own originals are fascinating, but then so too is her taste in rock classics to play (and how to play them) . . .” – Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News

“The pop/rock songs on Convergence seamlessly merge into the jazz in the deft hands of Arriale” – Chris Smith, The Winnipeg Free Press

“A superb project . . . There is a refreshed sense of purpose on this CD that blends well with Arriale’s consistent excellence through the years as a pianist and composer.”- Ken Franckling’s Jazz Notes

“I can’t really compare her to anyone. She has a really unique place in the music world. Her music transcends the word ‘jazz’ – it is just pure music. It’s all about nuance with Lynne.” – Randy Brecker – Trumpet/Flugelhorn – Multi-Grammy Award Winning Artist

“a great, organic pianist whose beautiful and muscular playing ranks with Mehldau and Bill Evans.” – LA Weekly

“Lynne Arriale is putting the heart back into jazz.”-The Sunday Times (London)

“I can’t really compare her to anyone. She has a really unique place in the music world. Her music transcends the word ‘jazz’ – it is just pure music. It’s all about nuance with Lynne.” – Trumpeter/composer Randy Brecker– Multi-Grammy Award Winning Artist

Pianist/composer Lynne Arriale is still experiencing the momentum of her previous release, a dizzying flurry of magazine covers, features and stellar critical accolades heralding her skills as an, “ingenious arranger, composer, soloist and performer . . . Arriale has made one of the most original ensemble recordings of 2009. Nuance is an album of brilliant group interpretations, finely crafted original material, intricate arrangements and rapt solos”-DownBeat. Arriale strikes again with Convergence (Motema), an eloquent new work of power and strength exploring previously uncharted musical waters, featuring a new band of some of New York City’s most in-demand players, Bill McHenry on tenor sax, Omer Alynne album cover vital on bass & oud, and her stalwart new drummer (who also played on Nuance), Anthony Pinciotti.
