About the Album

Even as Kris Davis has charted her path as one of the most adventurous and acclaimed pianists of the 21st century, she hasn’t forgotten about her mentors. On Run The Gauntlet, Davis and her ace trio with drummer Johnathan Blake and bassist Robert Hurst, perform music inspired by six of the female pianists who set the stage for Davis’ own innovations: Geri Allen, Carla Bley, Marilyn Crispell, Angelica Sanchez, Sylvie Courvoisier and Renee Rosnes. The result is a recording of innovative and surprising sounds that show why Davis is such a worthy heir to the legacies she pays tribute to.
