A Long Story is Anat Fort's debut release on ECM, and is comprised entirely of her original compositions, with one joint effort between Fort and Perry Robinson. From the very first track, the standard-in-the-making "Just Now Var. I," Fort's attractively melodic and Eastern-flavored jazz writing is apparent and ECM's storied history of piano-led groups (think Keith Jarrett, Bobo Stenson, and Tord Gustavsen) continues with the addition of this fine quartet. The "sidemen" on A Long Story are three well-known jazz veterans, led by the great Paul Motian on drums. Perry Robinson makes his ECM debut here and Ed Schuller rounds out the group on double-bass.

There's an intuitive branch of chamber jazz that began with Lennie Tristano and continued through to Paul Bley, Keith Jarrett, and the Swedish trio E.S.T. Israeli-born pianist Anat Fort is the latest iteration of an approach that's based in intuitive interplay and an austere, Bauhaus sense of dynamics. Echoes of Keith Jarrett circa the mid 1970s and his band with Charlie Haden, Dewey Redman, and Paul Motian reverberate throughout her ECM debut. The comparison is perhaps more facilely drawn because Motian is her drummer on this session. (He also happened to play with Tristano.) He's joined in his colorfully shaded and fluid rhythms by bassist Ed Schuller, who has a Mississippi-deep sound, anchoring even the freest improvisations on the disc. Most of the tracks consist of this trio, but they're joined by clarinetist Perry Robinson on a few songs like "Chapter Two," and those head for the hinterlands of avant-garde playfulness. Songs like "Just Now, Var. I" have that mix of stateliness and gospel chords that Jarrett employed at the time. On the other hand, "Just Now, Var. II," rendered solo, could have dripped from the pen of Annette Peacock, the early muse and composer for pianist Paul Bley, with whom Fort studied. Fort is a pianist of melodic gifts who can also play the angles of abstract expression as she does on the solo piece, "Chapter One," but she shares Keith Jarrett's gift for deeply integrated ensemble play, which shines on tracks like the freely played "As Two/Something 'bout Camels" and the cloudy moods of "Not the Perfect Storm." This is Anat Fort's second album, and she's quietly establishing herself as a composer of graceful beauty and an improvisor of daring exploration.
