“The Limp” is featured on Nate Chinen’s Take Five!
“The Limp” has a serpentine bass ostinato and a deceptively simple melody, suggesting a folk song. But Fort’s unpacking of the theme is precisely calibrated, at once delicate and determined. It’s a smart performance, and a good indication of what Colour is all about.

“From the lively “Tirata Tiratata” to the poignant “Part,” from the churning “Free” to the somber “Goor Katan” and beyond, Colour evinces the continuous evolution of the Anat Fort Trio, providing ample proof of the group’s enlivening spirit and the warm hues that their sound provides.”

“Tirata Tiratata” is featured in the NY Times playlist!
“In just two and a half minutes, “Tirata Tiratata” demonstrates the depth of Anat Fort’s talents as a pianist, and the synergetic range of her trio (Gary Wang on bass and Roland Schneider on drums), which is celebrating its 20th year together. Fort skids around the keyboard in quick, truncated lines, using jagged chords in the left hand to slice up her momentum even as the group’s energy continues to rise. With the trio tumbling toward a release, Fort remains governed by a deep sense of poise and a luminous touch.”
Giovanni, Russonello, The New York Times
