Anker / Courvoisier / Mori: Alien Huddle

Read "Alien Huddle" reviewed by Nic Jones

September 20, 2008

There is something palpably happening in this program of improvisation which lends it distinction. In this trio of reeds, piano, and electronics it's not by any means the latter that is what might be called the rogue element.

by Raul d'Gama Rose
June 28, 2008

It's a testament to pianist Sylvie Courvoisier's fine trio that the second half of her new two-disc set is as strong as the first. Violinist Mark Feldman, cellist Erik Friedlander and she have certainly logged plenty of hours together in different settings. The pianist's ear for composing for them shows through on the first disc and ...
