“As these challenging years creep by, it becomes necessary to look for hope on the horizon. Often, the picture of the future isn’t clear but remains obscured or hazy. But it is the belief in a brighter time ahead that helps imagine a better place through the mist. Violist, improviser, and composer Mat Maneri captures that feeling on his new recording, Mist, the final installment of a musical trilogy that he recorded with his quartet of longtime collaborators.
Maneri has become well known as a singular performer and creator on viola, forming intriguing partnerships with improvisers of all stripes. Over the past seven years, Maneri has focused on a quartet to present his music. The group includes instrumentalists that Maneri has played with for decades and as the quartet’s identity has matured, Maneri has leaned into the voices of his bandmates to inspire his work. The compositional voice of Lucian Ban has also been incorporated, as the pianist’s pieces constitute half of the pieces on Mist.”
