From Time Out NY:

"You'll be hearing a lot more from Israeli-born composer and pianist Anat Fort. Her astonishing compositions and gift for band-leading recently caught the attention of ECM records--a disc is being readied for next year. Here's your chance to catch her on the way up."

"Anat Fort is a daring pianist-composer whose inventive way with tunes and time suggests a huge talent in the making. And she understands the importance of a good working trio, which is why hers is so cohesive."
---K. Leander Williams


From The Village Voice:

"Gentility is part of the pianist's vernacular, but she has some novel strategies for dodging the benign. Conflating Bach and Bill Evans is one tack; using a soft touch while getting rambunctious in the upper register is another."

"Pianist Fort has a charming way of dispensing pastoralism and an insightful way of lining that pastoralism with depth. Her trio has the kind of poise that lets her move from terra firma to the stratosphere."
---Macnie

From All About Jazz NY:

"Anat Fort trio ... one of the best jazz shows in 2003"
---Andrey Henkin

"Anat Fort played a stirring trio set, backed by her regular cohorts Gary Wang on bass and Roland Schneider on drums. The Israeli pianist has a terrific unreleased recording of this group, and she played several of the tunes found there: the brisk, eighth-notey 'Free,' the evocative 'Something 'bout Camels,' the epic 'Not the Perfect Storm.' A couple of promising new originals rounded out the set. The trio is remarkably compatible and tight, highlighting Fort's advanced harmonic sense, which stems from her in-depth study of modern classical composition."
---David Adler, in his column NY By Night

"Anat Fort's music is very expressive...sometimes she conveys emotion with idiosyncrasies, other times with an uncomfortable note slipped into the middle of a ballad. Her occasional moments of solo playing are always flights of fancy."
---Matt Rand


From The Jewish Week:

"A terrific young Israeli jazz pianist and composer, Fort plays her adopted hometown pretty frequently, but she's always worth catching... her trio gig is the best way to experience her quiet, cerebral intensity."

"Fort writes music that is ... a skillful mix of the romantic and the cerebral, like watching a flower open, an enthralling combination of geometry and color, but always with a propulsive swing.
---George Robinson
