NEW RELEASE on Lumo Records:
The Diptychs by LINA ALLEMANO FOUR

Available exclusively on Bandcamp

“Once more, the ensemble delivers a compelling set of originals that balance elegant and at times challenging writing with free improvisation in a way that sounds simultaneously timeless and cutting-edge. The Diptychs demonstrates the inexhaustible potential of the chordless quartet and the boundless imagination of one of the best composers in jazz today.” - Jim Marks, Dusted Magazine

“With The Diptychs, Allemano and her quartet offer music that is at once conceptually rigorous and deeply playful. The album thrives on interdependence: No voice dominates, no gesture exists in isolation. Instead, ideas refract, reshape and echo across the ensemble, much like the visual art form that inspired it. The result is a body of music that feels both meticulously composed and spontaneously alive—an exploration of balance, contrast and the creative space that emerges in between.” - Mark Corroto, All About Jazz
