by Chris Comer

Anat Fort: Swimming in a Sea of Motian
by Paul Olson
While her discography as a leader consisted, until this year, of only one self-released album (Peel, 1999), New York-based, Israeli-born composer/pianist Anat Fort has been working steadily for years. Few contemporary jazz pianists have as graceful and developed a playing style as Fort--her use of rests, her love of space, and her classically-imbued phrasing are, once ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by J Hunter
My first exposure to the ECM milieu--the singular look, the sharp sound, the hypnotic music--was with Keith Jarrett's 1975 opus The Köln Concert. After longtime immersion in my parents' West Coast-intensive record collection, this amazing work of crystalline beauty hit me like French New Wave hits an American movie buff. Some guy named Manfred Eicher was ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by Martin Gladu
Notes twirl with thrilling beauty in Anat Fort's hands. Infused of the free jazz and 20th Century classical music aesthetics (especially the Second Viennese school), A Long Story, her first effort for ECM, successfully captures a talent of rare profundity and breadth. Her innate sense of textures, as well as her free-flowing lines and dramatic use ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by Budd Kopman
From the first notes of “Just Now," an attentive listener will recognize that A Long Story is going to be something special. The seemingly simple, Middle-Eastern tinged melody is treated with odd phrase lengths, keeping the listener decidedly off-balance, despite the direct harmonic progressions. Pianist Anat Fort's improvisations on the tune float around the barely felt ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by Dan McClenaghan
Solemnity and reverence are two characteristics that come to mind on hearing the opening tune on Tel Aviv-born pianist Anat Fort's ECM Records debut, A Long Story. The simple, straightforward melody of “Just Now, Var. I" sounds biblically old, like music tapped from humanity's collective marrow; and it--and the entire set--fits well into the atmosphere of ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by Elliott Simon
A Long Story is a most satisfying chronicle that carefully explores pianist Anat Fort's delicate compositions. Fort has been provoking praise with a worldly style that blends Mid-Eastern hues into pieces that prominently feature her classical/jazz training. Like her playing, her compositions can straddle diverse worlds and impress with a sensitivity that is comfortable with tales ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by John Kelman
There are those who dream of the perfect group, but it's rare for an artist to get it so right the first time. A Long Story isn't exactly Anat Fort's first record (which was her self-released 1999 album Peel), but it's the Israeli expat's first to reach an international audience. Most people will find it their ...
Anat Fort: A Long Story
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ci si commuove alle prime note di A Long Story. Per la bellezza del suono, per la tenerezza delle melodie, per la delicatezza del tocco, per la discrezione e la profondità spirituale della musica. Si presenta così Anat Fort, giovane pianista uscita da quella fucina di talenti che si sta rivelando, da qualche anno a questa ...
