I’ve come across a handful of recordings by German pianist Uwe Oberg in recent years, and I’ve liked all of them—particularly a duo with British reedist Evan Parker and an album by the trio Lacy Pool, which plays the compositions of singular soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. In 2015, though, Oberg released two solo records that ensure I’ll seek out his albums from now on, instead of simply trusting that they’ll cross my radar eventually.
