Paradoxical Frog (album)

Paradoxical Frog is the debut album by a collective trio consisting of Kris Davis on piano, Ingrid Laubrock on tenor sax and Tyshawn Sorey on drums. It was recorded in 2009 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label.

Reception
In his review for JazzTimes Josef Woodard says that, "the trio presents a colorful and convincing example of post-free jazz, mixing intricate rhythmic notions, introspective musings and moments of cathartic release." The 5-star All About Jazz review by Chris May notes that, "Despite its instrumentation, a good portion of the album is reminiscent of piano/bass/drums trio The Necks at its most spacious and unhurried." The editors of NPR Music included the album in their feature "The Best New Jazz Of 2010 (So Far)", and reviewer Lars Gotrich noted that the musicians "share a similar approach to abstract jazz composition and execution: loose and unfolding like a flowering tea, yet full of unexpected color." ==Track listing==
