The “long story” that Anat Fort proposes on her ECM debut is a captivating one, full of episodes that shimmer with fresh colour. The Israeli-born pianist/composer/improviser is a musician with an individual slant on the jazz tradition, and her music, lyrical and exploratory, carries echoes of her Middle Eastern homeland. It is superbly played by a band that includes two of the most original musicians in modern jazz, drummer Paul Motian and clarinetist Perry Robinson, plus highly-regarded bassist Ed Schuller (who has a long history with both of these innovators). These remarkable individualists pool their creative energies in the service of Anat’s compositions, with intriguing results. “You'll be hearing a lot more from Anat Fort. Her astonishing compositions and gift for band-leading recently caught the attention of ECM... She is a daring pianist-composer whose inventive way with tunes and time suggests a huge talent in the making.." - K. Leander Williams, Time Out New York
It’s been a long wait for A Long Story, but one that is well worthwhile. Israeli-born and Brooklyn-based pianist/composer Anat Fort made the album three years ago after fulfilling a longtime dream of recording with drummer Paul Motian … The result is a stunning debut that also features clarinetist Perry Robinson and bassist Ed Schuller. … These recordings have a sparse open-ended feel, with a wide-open soundstage to match. At times Fort’s playing is accompanied by little more than Motian’s tasteful cymbal work, contributing to the Middle Eastern sound that percolates throughout the work. At times, Robinson adds an Eastern European flair. But for the most part, international aspects are in the background.
Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound
The new A Long Story CD is a confluence of ethereally woven dark tendrils and captivating airy flights infused with barely concealed impulsive intent.
Barry Davis, DownBeat
