Album: Anat Fort Trio, And If (ECM)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Another soft-touched ECM pianist with a liking for dreamy, indefinitesounding lyricism.
At first hearing, Israeli pianist Fort sounds too Tord Gustavsen-lite for comfort, with bassist Gary Wang and drummer Roland Schneider appearing to do little more than accompany.
Then, as this second album casts its spell, the accompanists steadily get more assertive while Fort herself assumes a clearer identity as both writer and player through strong themes, bluesy accents and the odd Russian reference.
