Jane Ira Bloom – Wild Lines: Improvising Emily Dickinson

"Bloom says she was inspired to interpret Dickinson musically when she
learned that the poet was a pianist and improviser herself, confirming the
jazz-like quality she had always felt in Dickinson's phrasing. Nevertheless
the first, instrumental disc shows no apparent direct reflection of the
poetry, apart from some of the titles. "Emily & Her Atoms" opens the set
with a snaking, scalar theme, and the bridge employs a bit of live
electronic treatment. "Singing The Triangle" has a strong Americana tinge,
and a celebratory tone that becomes clearer with the poetry on the second
disc. It's a striking composition that can clearly stand on its own,
though" AAJ
