Crystal Silence captures a moment of deep focus and connection from a 2024 session at 25th Street Studios in Oakland. With Chris Gamper on drums, Paul Eastburn on bass, and Frank Martin on piano, the trio explores Chick Corea’s timeless composition with reverence and imagination. Recorded live with no overdubs, the performance balances space and intensity — every phrase breathing with clarity, restraint, and intention.
You can hear the resonance of the room, the subtle dialogue between rhythm and melody, and the quiet confidence of three musicians listening deeply to one another. It’s a meditation on Corea’s legacy and a reflection of the Bay Area jazz community’s enduring spirit — intimate, exploratory, and profoundly human.
