Percussion duets including L.A. stalwart (and Vinny Golia/Nels Cline pal) Brad Dutz. Frequently carries an airy, mysterious feel, even on some of the faster tracks. Nice for atmosphere, a quasi-World feel, or for a different sound inside a longer set. Many of the pieces are composed rather than improvised, so you'll find some punchy jazz melodies on marimba or vibraphone (e.g. 7,14). Don't worry; it's not all drums (although you'll want to hear the textured drum solo on #9). 1- Lots of gongs. Slow, spacey 2- Brisk tribal-drum piece 3- Lots of clutter/clatter. Slow start. 4- Strange marimba, then sparse solo 5- Cool fast clatter, then midtempo drums 6- Calm, sparkling. Fast hi notes at start 7- Fast marimba lines, also steel drums 8- Shuffly bongos. Small. 9- Deft, light drums, tribute to Elvin Jones 10- Chaotic vibraphone jazz. Slowish. 11- Lots of phases. Some fast, showy clatter 12- Mysterious 13- Some cool fast beats 14- Mid/fast brisk beat, marimba lead 15- Catchy hand drums, a very "world music" feel 16- More gongs! | ||
