oe Moran

0PN live ensemble member, NYC’s Kelly Moran joins Warp to issue her new album of sync-ready electro-acoustic composition.

Taking Turns, recorded in New York's Avatar Studio a decade ago, finds Danish guitarist Jakob Bro joined by a multi-generational cast of improvisers, highly distinctive players all. Lee Konitz, Andrew Cyrille, Bill Frisell, Jason Moran and Thomas Morgan lend their energies to a session that bypasses conventions of the "all-star" band and puts the emphasis on teamwork. Bro's space-conscious music encourages fresh responses: an atmospheric hint, or a fragment of gentle melody, opening up new trails to explore. "My compositions are about catching a glimpse of a feeling, sketching it down and then unfolding it as we record", said Jakob Bro at the time.
