MYRA MELFORD + TANYA KALMANOVITCH / HEART MOUNTAIN (2007)

Myra Melford, piano and harmonium
Tanya Kalmanovitch, viola and violin

"The disc’s 18 short, gemlike free improvisations include mysterious textural scrabbles and aggressive jousts, microtonal meditations and limpid, drone-based reveries. The most impressive quality of the set is the sheer selflessness with which two strong players merge into a common spirit."  Steve Smith, Time Out New York
