Description

“The eight pieces are all well crafted, with underlying jazz roots, but employing more sophisticated compositional techniques…Throughout, there is great, engaging counterpoint, a down-home bluesy feel that is sometimes missing in more composed-out jazz pieces, and a harmonic and melodic freedom that is rare among published jazz material…Any of these duos would also work well on a recital program, alone or combined as a suite.” David Demsey, The Saxophone Journal
