Viola player Mat Maneri first emerged during the 1990s, and has delivered introspective, at times mournful performances in a broad range of contexts ever since. Dust, though, is his first release as a leader in a while, so it’s no surprise he’s brought in players with whom he’s got a history. Maneri and pianist Lucian Ban released a duo disc, Transylvanian Concert, in 2013. They also recorded with bassist John Hébert on 2010’s Enesco Re-Imagined, with violinist Albrecht Maurer on 2015’s Fantasm, and with Evan Parker on 2017’s Sounding Tears. Maneri’s relationship with drummer Randy Peterson, meanwhile, goes back to the first decade of the bandleader’s career . . . . This is a collective music, suspenseful without being tentative, and it’s as much about listening as playing.
