Soundscapes, pensive and often pretty. These are duets of trumpet and various tuned percussion (marimba, bells, xylophone, etc.), most tracks improvised, by two longtime Southern California buddies. Not always a perfect match; the trumpet's brashness sometimes crosses the zen-like air of the percussion (#2 being one example).
Very nice overall, though. A more creative and worthwhile alternative to new age music.
Pretty -- 2, 4*, 6, 11*
Abstract/improv -- 3*, 7, 9, 10
Almost jazzy -- 1* (fast), 8* (disjoint), 12 (slow)
