Invisible Threads is an album by English saxophonist and composer John Surman recorded in Norway in July 2017 and released on ECM January the following year.
The silence between the instruments and the attentive pacing in which they perform suggests they are carefully listening to each other rather than just waiting for their turn.
"[2] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek notes "As a whole, Invisible Threads is an approachable but major work of melodic improvisation and tonal inquiry.
"[3] All About Jazz reviewer Samuel Stroup said, "This band of veteran musicians achieves what it sets out to do on Invisible Threads, mixing their improvisational skill with the rhythmic intricacies that make the album's songs unique.
Surman masterfully leads the group through his exercises in cohesion in the flowing and pulsing music.
