Craig Taborn
avant-garde contemporary jazz
Influences: Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor, Lennie Tristano
Craig Taborn plays piano in a duo with trumpeter Peter Evans, creating sparse, exploratory improvisation that focuses on the tones and overtones of the instrument. Taborn's style is concentrated and detailed, and he is described by DownBeat as a "visionary of the current wave," with his recent solo album "Shadow Plays" showing his refined approach. Both players come from the New York avant-garde scene, and the duo's music is built on collective improvisation.
