Anat Fort Trio: And If
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'iniziale “Paul Motian" è da brividi. Il brano dedicato al grande batterista che avevo suonato su A Long Story, debutto ECM di Anat Fort, è poesia allo stato puro. In una manciata di minuti si condensano al meglio le due direttrici cardine nella visione musicale della pianista e compositrice israeliana, ossia la rigorosità e la perfezione ...

Anat Fort: And If
by Hrayr Attarian
That pianist Anat Fort is an intensely lyrical musician is apparent throughout And If; her poetic lyricism acts, in fact, as sort of a unifying theme for the entire work. A hauntingly beautiful and sublime musical opus, the disc opens with her modal composition; “Paul Motian," a tribute to her previous band-mate, where her minimalist improvisation ...

Anat Fort: And If
by Dan McClenaghan
Working with legendary drummer Paul Motian on her first ECM release, A Long Story (2007), must have been a formative experience for pianist Anat Fort. On And If, her second release for the German label, she opens and closes the set with two readings of “Paul Motian." These are inward, time-standing-still tunes, showcasing Fort's spare and ...

by John Kelman
Pianist Anat Fort's ECM debut, A Long Story (2007) may have featured her “dream team"--and was all the better for it--but there's something to be said for the comfort and chemistry of longtime collaborators. Bassist Gary Wang and drummer Roland Schneider may not have the cachet of Ed Schuller or Paul Motian, but having worked with ...
David Ashkenazy: Out With It
by Martin Gladu
David Ashkenazy Out With It Posi-Tone 2009 The jazz drumming tradition abounds in models for emulation and study, and two such models stand out in importance. For its sheer power, Elvin Jones' work with saxophonist John Coltrane imposes itself on any serious student of the drum set. The ...
Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Upto Here | From Here
by Elliott Simon
Singer/songwriter Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's last project, an interpretation of the Bible's erotic Song of Songs, was a genre-straddler that succeeded both instrumentally and vocally. With Upto Here | From Here she stretches out with very strong originals in the presence of some NYC jazz stalwarts: drummer Take Toriyama, bassist Ed Schuller, pianist Anat Fort, saxophonist Loren ...
