b i o m e i.i

by Kate Gentile | International Contemporary Ensemble

supported by

arbitify This is one of the 2 or 3 albums of 2023 for me. The skill of the compositions is matched by the fine musicianship all around.

Kate blends ideas from contemporary classical music with improvisation with great skill.

yonigeller Absolutely mind blowing compositions! This album gives me goose bumps.

jiristepan Jazz and classical music intertwined, with nods to Threadgill and Bley. It's a total blast. And I still think of Schnittke (if he was writing a symphony for a chamber jazz septet).

maxfrantz This shit rocks! Favorite track: oergn.

Mheton Great. Probably my album of the year 2023 ...
