This album has pushed me ever further into experimental, avant-garde jazz. Thank you Anna from the bottom of my heart! It was arduous picking a favorite track. Torn between Array and Kore I.

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey
supported by 16 fans who also own “George Lewis: The Will To Adorn”
Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well.
