Composer and pianist Matt Mitchell creates haunting and vibrant soundscapes on his second release for Pi Records, Vista Accumulation.

Marilyn Crispell / Gerry Hemingway: Table Of Changes
by John Sharpe
Although Table of Changes is only the third release from the pairing of pianist Marilyn Crispell and percussionist Gerry Hemingway, it comes relatively hot on the heels of Affinities (Intakt, 2011) which broke a long silence since Duo (Knitting Factory, 1989).

Fin dalle prime sortite in trio, o in gruppi più ...
