Doug Simpson of Audiophile Audition wrote, “Two pieces were impelled by natural surroundings.

Of her tune Adventure Lands, Mike Jurkovic wrote on AllAboutJazz, “A sly, off-kilter Latin rhythm provides the undertow of Adventure Lands as Hilton’s active left hand teams brilliantly with the resilient give and take and formidable chops of bassist Lucques Curtis and drummer Mark Whitfield.” Pianist/composer Lisa Hilton put out another strong disc in 2018, Oasis. The trio continues to grow and has never sounded better. Like the debut disc, with one exception this latest effort is a set of Dunton compositions. TrioKait, consisting of pianist/composer Kait Dunton, her spouse and drummer Jake Reed with bassist Cooper Appelt, followed up their 2015 eponymous debut and 2016’s trioKAIT Casual, with the 2018 release TRIOKAIT 2.

(Kris Davis-p, Ches Smith-vib, Trevor Dunn-b, Terri Lyne Carrington-d). In 2020, the Jazz Journalists Association awarded Carla Bley their Lifetime Achievement Award. The heart of the disc is Bley’s three-part suite, Andando El Tiempo, Bley’s compositional retelling of watching a friend overcome addiction. Pianist Carla Bley, her partner, the bassist Steve Swallow, and saxophonist Andy Sheppard got together in 2016 to record Andando El Tiempo as a follow up to their 2013 disc, Trios. In a set that includes compositions from Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Gerry Mulligan and Antonio Carlos Jobim is a gem from Renee Rosnes, the cinematic tune, The Saros Cycle. In 2010, husband and wife pianists Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes recorded a piano duo disc entitled Double Portrait. We’ll hear two tunes from Diatom Ribbons, Sympodial Sunflower, a duet with Terri Lyne Carrington and Stone’s Throw from a quartet of Davis and Carrington with Ches Smith on vibes and Trevor Dunn on bass. While she started her career solidly in the avant-garde circles that brought her into projects with stalwarts of the genre like Ingrid Laubrock, Tyshawn Sorey, Tom Rainey and Tony Malaby, that hasn’t stopped her from forging connections with other musicians not typically included in that category.” Diatom Ribbons includes contributions from guitarists Nels Cline and Marc Ribot, tenor saxophonist JD Allen in addition to Tony Malaby, Esperanza Spalding and Teri Lynne Carrington. Of her much celebrated 2019 disc, Diatom Ribbons, Troy Dostert wrote, on AllAboutJazz, “To call pianist Kris Davis stylistically omnivorous would seem to be an understatement. The Jazz Journalist Association selected Kris Davis as the composer of the year and pianist of the year in 2020. There’s no better place to start than Kris Davis. In our final program dedicated to women in jazz, celebrating an extended Women’s History Month, we’ll hear from some great pianist / composers. While women have expanded their contributions, women players still excel in both roles and there are an amazing group of women pianists enriching the music today, many of whom are top-flight composers. Until recently women in jazz were predominantly singers and pianists.
