Maya Dunietz - Free The Dolphin [Raw Tapes]

Maya Dunietz, a prodigy pianist, an avant-garde sound artist, an award-winning composer, released her debut EP album Free The Dolphin on Raw Tapes. This is a unique kind of jazz. Glimpses of folk lullabies, African scales, and rhythms, moments that border with free jazz, and homage to the old school traditions of stride & blues - as fluffy as an Erroll Garner composition and as intense as Ahmad Jamal only to be delightfully interrupted with out-of-scale psychotic outbursts.

Maya blends her infinite influences into a holistic, post-modernistic, never-dull experience. Maya: I am incredibly grateful for the magical and pure sound that Rejoicer and Doctor achieved in this recording, Its one of the best trio sounds I ever heard and really stands out in its quality. Every instrument sounds beautifully clear as if it was playing alone and in the same time fuses perfectly with the other two, blending into a strong yet gentle colour.
