Pi Recordings Snark Horse - 6-CD Jazz Box Set

Experience a unique collection of modern jazz with Snark Horse by Pi Recordings. This expansive 6-CD box set features 70 highly-detailed one-bar compositions created by pianist and composer Matt Mitchell alongside percussionist and composer Kate Gentile. Designed to spark inventive and multi-directional improvisation, these pieces serve as a foundation for musical exploration. Snark Horse represents more than just a recording; it is the name of a revolving cast of musicians, including Mitchell and Gentile, who have performed this music in various combinations since 2013. Following the success of Mitchell's Phalanx Ambassadors, which Popmatters described as a high watermark for the new jazz, this release continues to push the boundaries of the genre. Each set comes with a beautiful 12-page booklet, making it a valuable addition to any collection of avant-garde and free jazz. Whether you are a musician looking for improvisational inspiration or a listener seeking breathtaking new sounds, this box set provides a deep dive into the creative minds of two of the most respected figures in contemporary jazz.
