Andy Biskin
Biskin's debut album Dogmental, on Gunther Schuller's GM Recordings label, received widespread critical acclaim. The record was featured twice on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross and has been used regularly between news stories on All Things Considered.
Ben Ratliff named Dogmental Album of the Week in the New York Times, and wrote It's hard to find gentle humor in jazz but the clarinetist Andy Biskin has perfect radar for it. Dogmental, his first album, is full of short pieces that break down into contrapuntal arrangements and short, pungent solos; it's a sweet-tempered album that doesn't take itself too seriously but has a lot of hidden virtues.... You can't say it's indicative of what jazz is up to or where it's going, but it's a little triumph nonetheless.
