Rosi HertleinViolinist and singer Rosi Hertlein divides her devotion between the worlds of classical music, free improvisation and jazz. Her work in recent years includes collaborations with Joe McPhee, Pauline Oliveros, Reggie Workman, Howard Johnson, David Taylor, Vincent Chancey and others. Her acclaimed CD, ROSI HERTLEINS IMPROVISING CHAMBER ENSEMBLE (ICE) Two Letters Ill Keep got released in November 2001. She also recorded as special guest on Joe McPhees TRIO X CD, Rapture. Rapture is hijacked by the astonishing violinist and singer Rosi Hertlein who is destined for great things. (Penguin Guide for Jazz CDs, Fifth Edition) Her earlier participation on Trio Xs Rapture, another Cadence-funded release offered the impetus for this debut as a leader. The assemblage of New York based players that takes to Hertleins challenging and deceptive charts with a concentrative zeal repays the faith in her.
