''Songways'' is an album by Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia recorded in 2012 and released on the ECM label.〔(ECM discography ) accessed December 17, 2013〕 ==Reception== The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "''Songways'' is European jazz rooted deep in the Italian tradition: it wears both its classicism and post-vanguard lyricism plainly, in the process creating a deft, instinctive, and highly expressionistic music".〔Jurek, T. (Allmusic Review ) accessed December 17, 2013〕 The PopMatters review by John Garratt stated "''Songways'' is amorphously terrific. It may not be a jazz or classical release, but it’s one of 2013’s best so far".〔Garratt, J. (PopMatters Review ) March 21, 2013〕 The All About Jazz review by John Kelman said that "''Songways'' capitalizes on the strength of a trio that's been honing its craft in multiple contexts for eight years, finding beauty in every nook and cranny even as it eschews the obvious, and continues to hone its profoundly lyrical language with music that paints vivid pictures and evokes cinematic landscapes, encouraging the imagination to run where it will".〔Kelman, J. (''Songways'' Review ) ''All About Jazz'', March 10, 2013〕 The ''JazzTimes'' review by Thomas Conrad said "''Songways'' is one of the prettiest piano trio albums of the new millennium... In jazz, “pretty” is often an adjective that damns with faint praise. Battaglia’s music is pretty but neither shallow nor soft".〔Conrad T.
