On The Winds of Change, the critically acclaimed pianist/composer offers 5 brand new original compositions alongside exhilarating arrangements of Chick Corea’s “Crystal Silence” (originally on Corea’s 1972 ECM recording of the same name with vibraphonist Gary Burton) and Kenny Barron’s “The Black Angel” (originally on trumpeter Freddie Hubbard’s 1970 Atlantic recording of the same name) to push the creative boundaries of the group and inspire a collective new sound to pay homage to jazz legends and the artistry.

"Billy Childs is creating some of the most beautiful music around. Childs and Blade are creating a canon of work equal to the piano and drum teams of Ahmad and Vernell, Tommy and Elvin, Evans and Motian, or Chick and Roy. Yes, the piano and drum interplay on the winds of change is that good!" - Modern Drummer
