Fragments is an album by Canadian jazz pianist Paul Bley recorded in 1986 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4 stars stating "this 1986 session ranks high among his many solo and group outings for the label... Overcast and a bit icy as one might expect, but nevertheless Bley's Fragments makes for a consistently provocative and enjoyable listen".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "The writing and arranging are surprisingly below par and the recording isn't quite as clean as it might be".[3]
