Rootstime, 01-5-2024
Being Human is a collection of thoughtful and thematic compositions by an artist who has grown into an expert doing it.
Wild Mercury Rhythm, 28-4-2024

Jazz Journal, 21-4-2024
In her latest albums, the now veteran pianist has revealed herself as an engaged artist, concerned with the social, civil, and political issues of contemporary society.
Musica Jazz, 19-4-2024
Soft, velvety sounds, the result of a clearly classical-influenced pianism infused with great sensitivity. A performance of great intensity, in which the American pianist demonstrated not only enviable technical abilities but also excellent compositional talent. More than jazz, we could define it as musical poetry.
A performance of great intensity, in which the American pianist demonstrated not only enviable technical abilities but also excellent compositional talent.
They are indeed small jewels.
Corriere del Ticino, 17-4-2024
Trapped in that too often rebellious web of connections between heart, brain and its vividly emotional lyricism, Arriale’s seventeenth artistic statement serves as a channel towards our hopes, dreams, thoughts, prayers and shared best wishes for a better world.”
Being Human sheds a warm light on the range of the pianist’s myriad powers.
Arriale and her companions manage to stop the world to see where we are, how and why we got here, and how the hell do we get out of the swamp.
Poetic in structure, Being Human resonates with verses and celebratory dystics. In tune with our greatest power, our best angels.

musikansich, 14-4-2024
A poetess of the piano’: of the many appellations Lynne Arriale has been given in her work; it is perhaps the one that best fits the great empathy of her music.
Rockerilla, 11-4-2024
... jazzy playing style, here in a trio with bass and drums, combined with a consistently harmonious overall sound...
NaDann, 03-4-2024
without lapsing into mawkishness or self-indulgence; Arriale does it by never losing sight of structure or swing, and never taking six minutes to say something musically that can be said in under three. As a result, virtually every track is a highlight.
CD HotList, 03-4-2024

Melodiva, 16-3-2024
Lynne Arriale continues to grapple with the world, and uplifts it, with her immense gifts and passion. The pianist-composer has proven herself among the most socially and politically engaged jazz musicians working today.
The piano trio is a specific art form honed to heights of mastery by The Bill Evans Trio and Arriale carries on from such lofty standards.
You can’t help but sense how far Arriale travels musically to discover the width and depth of human determination and courage in a world ever ready in defiance
Kevernacular, 13-3-2024
... unique voice in the world of jazz piano… beauty always nourished by an unvarnished authenticity.
CultureJazz, 11-3-2024
I remember sitting in Cambridge’s Regattabar, enthralled by the clarity and lyricism of her lines, distinctive yet also simple and accessible.
Isthmus, 11-3-2024
She’s an excellent and engaging pianist.
The threesome is a tight-knit unit but, more than that, they sound tremendously crisp, playing cleanly throughout. Each player, as is often the case with piano trios, receives a great deal of space to strut their stuff. Everyone does so — and quite tastefully.
Columbia Day Tribune, 09-3-2024
...enrapturing musical conversation…masterful balances of compositional finesse and lively improvisation.
Shepherd Express, 08-3-2024
virtuosic performances…
JAZZIZ, 06-3-2024
In a sense the deeply meditative music with their one-word titles makes these glorious miniatures seem like vortices of emotion... For this is music that is born of body and soul. The compositions bear the hallmark of a composer who composes not so much with pencil on staved paper, but with the proverbial nerve-endings of the very flesh of her fingers that caress the keys as she plays the music. Her glorious melodic lines lift the black dots off the paper and exhort them to sing and dance and pirouette like Apollo's Angels in the air around you.
...an album with so many heart-on-the sleeve moments that you will find yourself catching your breath in absolute awe of Arriale's introspective artistry...an artist of the first order...
...the album speaks to Arriale's humanity is the fact that it has been inspired by the epiphany that we all belong to the Human Race and if we are to survive we should allow "Love", in directing our humanity, to be the glue that binds us.
That Canadian Magazine, 05-3-2024
I would sum up the 2024 album Lynne Arriale Trio: Being Human with the three words - grace, class and style.
Cosmopolis, 04-3-2024
Being Human might just be the most satisfying piano trio album yet from Lynne Arriale… the trio's telepathic connection showing how easily borders can dissolve when the spirit moves.
Textura, 01-3-2024
“‘I wrote this suite in response to the division and turmoil in our world,’ says Arriale. I wish world leaders would take the time to listen.”
DownBeat, 01-3-2024
The quality of her compositions, the melodic and acute sound, the perfect mastery of the trio format, and the remarkable musicians who have gone above and beyond to deliver their best—madness it would be to overlook this album.
This proves that Lynne Arriale is one of the great composers of today. She also knows how to perfectly blend tradition and modernity within the same album, and this is the ultimate proof.
Undoubtedly, we have one of the great albums of 2024 here.”
Paris Move, 16-2-2024
Easily the most outstanding album we have heard recently…
a very special kind of record that summons all the resources that Arriale has at her disposal, from composition to performance, deep immersion in the language of jazz piano and a trio that allows everything, beat, groove and pulse, to break through and shine.
All in all then a very special kind of record that summons all the resources that Arriale has at her disposal, from composition to performance, deep immersion in the language of jazz piano and a trio that allows everything, beat, groove and pulse, to break through and shine.
