White pianist Marilyn Crispell (1947), who was playing with Anthony Braxton (1978-86),
inherited the tradition of jazz pianists who
were also bold composers (Thelonious Monk, Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor)
and took it to a new level of sensibility and curiosity
in the wild trio improvisations of Spirit Music (march 1981), with violinist Billy Bang and drummer John Betsch,
in the passionate solo improvisations of Rhythms Hung in Undrawn Sky (may 1983), of Labyrinths (october 1987) and of Images (august 1991),
in the cerebral duets with Irene Schweizer of Overlapping Hands (june 1990),
in the dramatic quartet counterpoint of Santuerio (march 1993), with violinist Mark Feldman, cellist Hank Roberts and drummer Gerry Hemingway,
in the stark duo studies with Italian saxophonist and clarinetist Stefano Maltese of Red (september 1999) and Blue (september 1999).
Her focus gradually shifted from sheer extroverted expression of vital energy
towards a more balanced and even introverted exploration of sound.
The Stone Quartet (december 2006) consisted of Joelle Leandre on bass, Roy Campbell on trumpet and Mat Maneri on viola.
Phases of the Night (may 2007) is a trio with
Barry Guy, Paul Lytton and Marylin Crispell.
