Erez Dessel – Pro Fake No Reject

In stock

$14.00

“Corbett vs. Dempsey presents the release of PRO FAKE NO REJECT by pianist Erez Dessel. This is Dessel’s first solo CD. One of the most astonishing young musicians to emerge in contemporary improvised music, Erez Dessel (b. 1998) is helping to revitalize the practice. An ace technician who studied at the New England Conservatory, Dessel is in no way conservative. Indeed, his bracing approach to the keyboard and deeply intuitive sense of form can be explosive, uncorked energy summoning references to Cecil Taylor and the Don Pullen/Milford Graves duets, and an almost Russian Romantic darkness — imagine an improvised Mussorgsky — offset by keen emotional intelligence, with joyful melodicism and an airborne quality. And nestled within Dessel’s playing there’s a perverse streak, a contrarianism that might call to mind Misha Mengelberg or Jim Baker.”
