: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Long time collaborators and bandmates Adrean Farrugia and Joel :,
: Frahm explore the musical possibilities of jazz piano and :
:' saxophone on Blued Dharma with a playful and melodic take. The ':
,: release offers an intriguing variety of expression and :,
: approaches. :
:' ':
,: In "Blued Dharma," the title track, the two instruments wind in :,
: and around each other in melodic abandon. Frahm is a gifted :
:' player who can wring an endless melodic variety out of any ':
,: chord progression. The songs, all written by Farrugia with the :,
: exception of "Cherokee" by Roy Noble and "Nobody Else But Me" by :
:' Jerone Kern/Oscar Hammerstein, offer familiar jazz structure ':
,: and improvisational sections. :,
: :
:' "Cool Beans" is a highlight of the release, with a rhythmic ':
,: piano riff that bounces off a languid sax melody, gradually :,
: ramping it up to a superbly tangled knot of bluesy melody and :
:' drive. In "For Murray Gold," Frahm offers a pure tone that ':
,: matches the sombre mood of the piece. There are two versions of :,
: Noble's "Cherokee." The first, "Cherokee II," is a kinetic track :
:' with a relentless sense of momentum and an exuberant energy, ':
,: while "Cherokee I" mines the melodic rather than rhythmic :,
: elements of the song. :
:' ':
,: Recognizing their musical compatibility after playing together :,
: in ensembles headed by Toronto drummer Ernesto Cervini for :
:' several years, Farrugia and Frahm got together to record the ':
,: duo album in a single session at Tedesco Studio in New Jersey in :,
: August 2017. They bring a symbiotic energy to a combination of :
:' instruments that's not often heard from. ':
