Reviews for Arrival: Skope and Paris Move

"Arrival is sophisticated, adventurous, deeply rooted and entirely alive, a GREAT album. A milestone for all three musicians, and one of the most compelling jazz albums of 2026." - Frankie Pfeiffer, Editor, Paris Move Magazine

Coming on September 10 on J-Man Records: Arrival, with Nicki Adams featuring Francisco Mela

Following Paraphrases's previous two releases on Steeplechase Records, Paraphrase (2022) and The Transcendental (2024), the duo expands to a trio for its latest release, Arrival, featuring special guest Francisco Mela (Kenny Barron, Joe Lovano, McCoy Tyner and many others).

"The album’s greatest strength is also its main challenge. Arrival contains dense counterpoint, irregular meters, and references ranging from M-Base to Messiaen. Adventurous without completely rejecting accessibility, Arrival presents three musicians treating jazz tradition not as a boundary but as a flexible source of momentum. The bassist may be absent, but the music carries considerable weight." - Skope Magazine
