Great call on Muriel Grossman!
You should also check out Ingrid Laubrock. I think she is a better composer.
Checkout "The Last Quiet Space".

@simonmoon Thanks for the recommendation! I plan on streaming the "Last Quiet Place" by Ingrid Laubrock this evening. "Devotion" is my favorite by Grossman but I also have "Quiet Earth" on CD. I love the Spiritual Jazz sub-genre in which Grossman is a contemporary example. |
