Okonski’s Entrance Music showcases stellar musicianship, with intricate piano work and a tight rhythm section (Aaron Frazer on drums and Michael Montgomery on bass). The album leans into meditative (opener “October” is the standout), jazz-infused compositions, but its repetitive structures make it feel more like background music than an engaging listen. While technically impressive, the overall feels static. In a live setting, these compositions likely come alive with energy and improvisation, making the experience far more compelling.
