DESCRIPTION:A collaboration of over a decade\, Anat Fort trio has been vote
 d &ldquo\;best Jazz Show&rdquo\; by All About jazz NY twice in recent year
 s.&nbsp\; Performing all original compositions by Fort \,the band recently
  released its long-awaited first CD on ECM Records\, AND IF\, to rave revi
 ews worldwide\, and was included in SLATE magazine&rsquo\;s 10 best jazz a
 lbums of 2010.\nWith Bill Evans\, Keith                  Jarrett\, Paul Bl
 ey\, Elvis Costello\, John Coltrane and Egberto                  Gismonti 
 among her many formative influences\, Anat Fort&rsquo\;s                  
 music can also subtly hint at her geographical origins. Born near         
          Tel Aviv\, she studied classical piano as a child and began impro
 vising                  from an early age\, all the while remaining open t
 o the many musical                  sounds of her environment.\nIn the ear
 ly 1990&rsquo\;s\, Anat came to the United States to                  stud
 y jazz\, looking to balance a natural tendency towards freer              
     playing with a firm grounding in the tradition. Her sojourn resulted  
                 in her self-produced debut album Peel\, and commissions to
  write                  for various ensembles including chamber and chorus
  and orchestra.                  Her most recent commission was premiered 
 at the Opera House in                  Tel Aviv in January 2006.\nAnat rec
 eived two artist-in-residence grants from the Jerome                  Foun
 dation as well as the Creative Connections award from Meet                
   the Composer. A session recorded with drummer Paul Motian\, bassist     
              Ed Schuller\, and clarinetist Perry Robinson was brought to t
 he                  attention of the legendary producer Manfred Eicher ECM
  Records\,                  and the resultant CD was released in 2007 as A
  Long Story.\nAn important presence on the NYC alternative jazz scene and 
 equally                  highly regarded in her homeland\, Anat currently 
 splits her time                  between Israel and the US and performs wi
 th bassist Gary Wang                  and drummer Roland Schneider in her 
 touring band\, the Anat Fort                  Trio.\n\n\n
