Among 2024's contenders for the most tireless and ambitious pianists in creative music, one has to put Matt Mitchell near the top of the list. When he is not working as a sideman alongside other pathbreaking musicians like Miles Okazaki, Ches Smith, Darius Jones or Kim Cass, he is busy crafting his own idiosyncratic compositions and assembling the uniquely capable ensembles required to bring them into being. Earlier standout efforts included 2017's A Pouting Grimace (Pi Recordings) and 2019's Phalanx Ambassadors (Pi Recordings), both of which were sprawling, multitextured releases that were consistently imaginative and challenging. And then there was Snark Horse (Pi Recordings, 2021), an even more astonishing collection of music that, despite its six-CD heft, somehow felt as though it was only scratching the surface of Mitchell's capacious vision.
