Illusion Suite is an album by American pianist and composer Stanley Cowell recorded in 1972 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Andrew Hamilton rated the album 4 stars, stating: "Cowell and Clarke display amazing technique ...and Hopps' impressionistic drumming is head clearing. ...Hopps plays as if he has four hands with a drumstick in each, Cowell's rolling piano chords are matched in fever by Clarke's bass work".[2]
