Fragments (song)

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

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".
