A major figure in the Italian avant-garde, chamber jazz, and improvised music scenes since the late 1970’s, composer and clarinet maestro Gianluigi Trovesi is “a visionary spirit and a conceptualizer who reimagines jazz in vivid Mediterranean hues, dancing folkloric themes, and bursts of vivid color” (JazzTimes). A daring improviser, Israeli pianist/composer Anat Fort’s “reflective yet probing style” (New York Times) is “a skillful mix of the romantic and the cerebral, like watching a flower open; an enthralling combination of geometry and color” (Jewish Week). Watch for their new ECM album Birdwatching.
