Marilyn Crispell
One of the few women to have headlined at New York’s Village Vanguard, Marilyn Crispell is a contemporary piano genius of many moods. As a decade-long member of Anthony Braxton’s incendiary quartet, Crispell became known for coruscating, percussive solos, full of dense, ringing chords and lightning glissandos. Her latest release, Vignettes, is a ravishing solo album marked by her deep musical intuition and uncanny sense of narrative flow.
