I really can't find anything not to like about this
reeds'n'traps free jazz duo workout. there are four long
tracks, of which the first is superbly arresting, mixing hard
bop with afro-frunk in a way which makes it seem they always
belonged together, while on the final track mateen quotes from
carmen. the musicians manage to touch all sorts of bases along
the way, but the ability to imply the presence of any number of
other musical elements, be it the rest of a conventional rhythm
section or the sonorities of the human body --breath,
heartbeat, the hiss of the nervous system-- never leaves them.
a fine example of a rarified but highly rewarding area of
music, this goes next to roach/braxton, maslak/moffett & indeed
coltrane/ali, where it surely belongs.
