Improvised duets of piano and sax/clarinet. A goofing-around attitude, taking grand, dramatic jazz motifs and just twisting them apart. Rather abstract, but fun -- it's like a formal chamber concert where the musicians decide to mess with your head. Strong-handed playing bordering on fierce. You can tell they really enjoyed recording this.
1- Calm clarinet burbling.
2- Fast attack, full of flourish and attitude
3- Punchy, fairly fast, then a twisted boogie-woogie piano
4- Slow, even a bit sad and serious
5- Fast solo piano. Low, thumping, then all over the place
6- Jumpy, skippy. Gets into an ear-catching cabaret tap
7- Some blissfully shrill trilling; hard-edged piano digs later
8- Squealy, intense.
9- Several sarcastic segments. Fast and upbeat
10- Baring, dissonant, yet touches of showtunes
11- Icy. Quiet, delicate start; later ragged and jittery
12- Clarinet: Bubbling, fast, kinda spirals out of control
13- More jumpy and skittery work
14- A "nice" one to close it. Pretty, serene.
