Book of Velocities
Book of Velocities is a solo album by pianist Jon Balke recorded in 2006 and released on the ECM label in 2007. Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "nothing could have prepared the listener for this gorgeous set of unedited, unprocessed, and undubbed piano pieces... It is very minimal, but also very malleable; change is the order of the proceeding, so a quiet form of delight is given to the listener as the process of discovery unfolds over and over again. Highly recommended". Track listing
