Marylin Crispell: Vignettes
by Martin Gladu
This time going at it alone sans the support of the piano-trio setting that served her so well on her previous outings for ECM, Vignettes sees pianist Marylin Crispell in an even more vulnerable context than usual. An integral part in the development of ECM's free music corpus, Crispell enjoys great company in the label's prestigious ...
Marilyn Crispell: Vignettes
by Budd Kopman
Pianist Marilyn Crispell has always been an intense musician, no matter what style of music she happens to be playing. Two of the high points of the ECM catalogue, from the standpoints not only of intensity, but of beauty were Nothing Ever Was, Anyway (1997) and Amaryllis (2001), both with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Paul ...
Marilyn Crispell: Vignettes
by AAJ Italy Staff
I primi quattro brani di Vignettes si sviluppano lentamente, senza esigenze impellenti, con un senso narrativo ampio, anche se non finalizzato in modo perentorio sotto il profilo melodico. Difficilmente in questo progredire si potrebbe scorgere una ripetitività di stampo minimalista, in quanto la varietà dinamica delle spaziature ritmiche e del tocco della Crispell definisce un pianismo ...

Marilyn Crispell Trio: Storyteller
by John Kelman
Improvised music is often described as a conversation. Consider album titles like Conversations with Myself , Interconnection , and Duologues. Pianist Marilyn Crispell's last two recordings for ECM, Nothing Ever Was, Anyway and the quietly dramatic Amaryllis , placed her in discussion with two artists who have proven to be brilliant communicators over lengthy careers, bassist ...
Anthony Braxton at Yoshi's
by Robert Spencer
Anthony Braxton's Ghost Trance Festival took Yoshi's the last week of August and introduced West Coast fans to what the master called “the next level of my work." As always, Mr. Braxton's pace and breadth of vision is breathtaking. In the Seventies and Eighties he moved beyond playing simple song forms, stringing composed sections together with ...
