Faust Anne Imhof

Other than the piano, there were few instruments on which Chopin focused his attention, which makes this album featuring cellist Anne Gastinel something of a rarity - all the more so in the hands of this iconic French cellist and her partner Claire Désert, veterans of countless concerts and recordings over several decades. Their united voice - as always, remote from the chorus of the mundane and the media-fixated - is a subtle, inspired cantilena.

The latest release from Anne Sajdera, New Year (2018), features Czech artists Miroslav Hloucal (trumpet, flugelhorn) and Jan Fečo (alto sax), as well as special guest Bob Mintzer. Produced by Ray Obiedo and recorded at Fantasy Records, this post-bop release offers an array of finely crafted originals from Anne, Miroslav & Jan as well as performances by a host of exceptional San Francisco Bay Area talent.
