Reviewed: 2018-07-10 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: The duo project is an exploratory, meditative collaboration that features guitarist Monder’s otherworldly harmonic virtuosity in expansive sonic textures & highlights Shragge’s subtle and distinctive lyrical voice on the trumpet, shakuhachi & dragon mouth trumpet (a custom microtonal instrument). Fans of ECM will love this.
