Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stripping away the elaborate synthesizers of their progressive rock backgrounds, the two virtuosos present a purely acoustic dialogue. The album explores sparse, complex jazz-rock improvisations anchored entirely by acoustic piano and a standard drum kit. It underscores their remarkable technical chemistry and shared desire to push the boundaries of conventional rhythm and melody.
