Cryptogramophone presents artists like Nels Cline, Bennie Maupin, Alex Cline, Jenny Scheinman, Todd Sickafoose, Myra Melford, Zeena Parkins, Mark Dresser, and other musicians who explore the far reaches of artistic vision and instrumental technique. Cryptogramophone is all about creativity, emotion and technique coming together in the moment -- the moment when composition and improvisation meet to create art.
