Tyshawn Sorey - The Adornment Of Time - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2019 . The Adornment of Time is a monumental meeting between drummer Tyshawn Sorey and pianist Marilyn Crispell, two titans of contemporary music. Recorded live at The Kitchen in New York City, the performance is the apotheosis of fully-improvised music, a dialogue between two artists who are masters at bringing compositional form to their improvisations. Sorey, a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, has been named by The New Yorker as Inchamong the most formidable denizens of the in-between zone... An extraordinary talent who can see across the entire musical landscape,Inch and by The Wall Street Journal as Incha composer of radical and seemingly boundless ideas.Inch Crispell, whose playing has been described by The New York Times like Inchmonitoring an active volcano,Inch is perhaps best known for her association with Anthony Braxton in his classic quartet of the 1980s and 1990s, but also for her many projects as a leader and highly-regarded releases on the ECM tag. Comprised of a single, uninterrupted movement, the performance is by turns placid and tumultuous; quietly contemplative until exploding in intensity. Their performance together is an act of collaborative spontaneous composition of the highest order. Album Tracks 1. The Adornment of Time
