i found out craig taborn had a new piano duo record out and i had to nab it. personally i prefer the one he did with kris davis last year, but that's just a matter of taste. truly mesmerizing sounds on display here folks.

Daily bandcamp hipped me to this one here, and that's how I became glued to the music of pianist Marta Sanchez.

"Well, it’s definitely not empty talk when Drew Williams cites the graphic novel Saga as the inspiration for the Wing Walker Orchestra’s debut. Hazel reflects more story narrative than song structure; melodies embody the conflicting nature of characters, and tempos chart the unexpected plot twists. The sign of the album’s success, however, isn’t the music’s shadowing of a story, but the ensemble’s dexterity in bringing a cohesive presentation to an epic vision. It helps to have a crew of all-stars that include names like Marta Sánchez, Eric Trudel, Nathan Ellman-Bell, and John Blevins to pull it off. It’s a hell of a debut."
