For Anyone That Knows You

For Anyone That Knows You, an album of mostly piano solos by Josiah S teinbrick, was recorded not for smoothness or posterity but to emphasize the piano as object, the person playing it, and the moment it sounds. On three of the pieces, the saxophone of Sam Gendel hovers over the piano like a faint change in the light, adding resonance and gentle reinforcement rather than counterpoint. Three others are delicate renditions: 'Green Glass' interprets an untitled recording by Ouechuan folk musicians Leandro Apaza Romas and Benjamin Clara Quispe; 'Elyne Road' abbreviates one of Malian kora master Tournani Diabate's most tender compositions; and 'Lullaby' is an arrangement of a traditional Creole song, originally recorded in 1954 by the Haitian-American guitarist Frantz Casseus.
