专辑简介
* Celebrated, multi-award-winning jazz pianist Geri Allen makes her highly anticipated solo piano debut featuring her new suite, "Refractions: Flying Toward the Sound," composed as her 2008-09 Guggenheim Fellowship Award project. The extraordinary work (with elements of jazz, meditation music, and classical piano) refracts the genius of jazz innovators Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, and Herbie Hancock through the lens of Allen's own formidable genius. * A short art film by famed African American filmmaker/photographer Carrie Mae Weems will be co-promoted with the CD, adding a sophisticated visual dimension to the promotion campaign. Portions of the film are included here as enhanced CD content. "A truly gifted pianist should be a world unto his or her own while under the influence of composing magic. This [is something] Allen has accomplished with over twenty years of pure ivory joy." -- eJazzNews "Rare combination of dazzling compositional skill and melodically inventive technique." -- JazzTimes "Geri Allen, whether playing standards or her own jazz compositions, is one of the most adept, graceful jazz pianists playing in today's jazz scene." -- JazzReview "Superb songwriting ... musical elegance." -- All About Jazz
