Valley of Search are releasing Maquishti by vibist Patricia Brennan in early-2021. The exquisite 'Sonnet' is streaming. One of two tracks available heralding the 15 January release; the second 'Magic Square' sounds as if it joins the dots between say Lofty Fake Anagram-period Gary Burton and Thelonious Monk, an intimation of 'Blue Monk' for a split second sprung to mind like a halo. All originals of the Mexico-born musician and composer who is debuting and whose playing credits include Meredith Monk, Theo Bleckmann, Jon Irabagon, Scott Robinson, Ambrose Akinmusire, Marcus Gilmore and Mary Halvorson, the album is a 2018 solo vibes/marimba studio recording made at the Samurai Hotel Recording Studio in New York city. One to look forward to. Photo: via Valley of Search
