After several underground releases, pianist Rob Clearfield finally emerges from the shadows with an album that reveals the full richness and originality of his talent. Marking a reunion with double bassist Joe Sanders (Gerald Clayton, Charles Lloyd), and the beginning of his collaboration with drummer Fred Pasqua, “Voice in the Wilderness” is a highly crafted album, carefully produced down to the last detail, which reconciles the creative spirit of the Chicago scene (where Rob has long been active musically) with a lyricism that touches the heart. Featuring trumpet virtuoso Itamar Borochov on half of the tracks, the opus includes two tracks produced by drummer and DJ Makaya McCraven, with whom Rob Clearfield has worked for many years, both on stage and in the studio. A true discovery.
