Anat Fort: Survival of the Artist
by Chris Comer
Listen Artist Anat Fort has recently released her first ECM Recording “A Long Story" featuring Paul Motian, Perry Robinson and Ed Schuller. In this revealing and intimate interview with Chris Comer from ChrisComerRadio.com, Anat talks about breaking in to the New York jazz scene, working with these legendary artists such as Paul ...
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 ...
