Sidewalk-cafe versions of Kurt Weill songs and Weill-inspired pieces, performed in spare duets of clarinet and accordion. Has a jazzy freeness to it, although you won't find the surprising blips of wildness common in Trovesi's larger combos, although tracks like #4 push some boundaries. Nice stuff overall,
Liner notes by Umberto Eco! Seriously.
1- Sly intro track, cute and clever
2- Slow
3- Lightly moody dance, slow intro
4- Creeping abstract improv
5- Upbeat with rich jazzy tones
6- Sad interlude
7- Balkan folky feel
8- Slow, lingering, dramatic
9- Jaunty jazz blip
10- Happy, Pink-Panther-like theme, into lovely peacefulness
11- Spritely
12- Slow and stately
13- Another Pink Panther theme into nice jazz riffs
14- Ballet-like waltz, mid/fast
15- Melancholy
16- Cartoony midtempo, upbeat
17- Slow, sad
18- Playful, sly take on "Alabama Song." A highlight.
19- Slow interlude
20- Moodier take on 18
21- Slow, sentimental with a wink
22- Small and sad
23- Dreamy, slow
