Mark Turner's writing for his quartet on Return from the Stars (titled after Stanislav Lem's science fiction novel) gives the players plenty of space in which to move, on an album both exhilarating and thoughtful in its arc of expression

Solos flow organically out of the arrangements and, beneath the often- dazzling interplay of Turner's tenor and Jason Palmer's trumpet, the rhythm section of Joe Martin and Jonathan Pinson roams freely. Although Turner has been a frequent presence on ECM in contexts including the Billy Hart Quartet, the Fly trio, and a duo with Ethan Iverson, Return from the Stars is his first quartet album since 2014's Lathe of Heaven and an essential document of his artistry as a player and his conceptual thinking as a bandleader.

The 180g vinyl version will be released in autumn 2022..
