1988 live album by Marilyn Crispell
Labyrinths is a solo album by American jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell which was recorded live at the 1987 edition of the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville and released on the Canadian Victo label. The CD edition adds a bonus track.
Reception
In his review for AllMusic , Stephen Cook states "Labyrinths finds avant garde jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell balancing Cecil Taylor 's cataclysmic and staunchly free piano style with her own melodic and spacious take on free improvisation."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "What she creates here is logically formed, expressively coherent and quietly perfect. This is one or her best records of the '80s and certainly one of the best of the solo recordings."
