Duets of bass and soprano sax, with some of McPhee's composed pieces and several improvisations. These are mostly relaxed jams, with a warm down-home air (by free-jazz metrics, anyway). Very nice. The sequel to Duval's "Rules of Engagement" CD with Mark Whitecage. 1- Bright and jumbled; fast 2- Fast, athletic sax. Slow and peaceful later. 3- Slowish with lots of tangly playing. Artfully abstract. 4- Slow bluesy stroll. In track #5, McPhee explains this song was inspired by a church bombing in Birmingham. 6- Sad, slow 7- "Amazing Grace" played straight and slow. 8- Calm, meditative 9- Chugging beat, a soulful midtempo 10- Sax solo: Sparse, slow. 11- Dirge. Dark bowed bass. | ||
