My Take
Anat Fort earns my admiration as an artist who chased her sound across an ocean. An Israeli pianist raised near Tel Aviv, she moved to New York in 1996 to study improvisation under the legendary Paul Bley and composition with Harold Seletsky. In jazz, the way a person lives tends to surface in the way they play, and I suspect her quiet, searching tone carries everything she gathered touring Europe and the States. Awards matter less to me here than the courage to keep hunting for one's own voice. As both pianist and composer, she is someone I want to listen to closely.
