Trance is an album by American jazz pianist and composer Steve Kuhn recorded over two days in November 1974 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Steve Swallow and Jack DeJohnette with percussionist Sue Evans. [1]
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is jazz that touches on fusion, modal, and the new spirit of the music as ECM came into the 1970s as a player. There is restlessness and calm, tempestuousness and serenity, conflict and resolution, and—above all—creativity and vision." [2]
