Sax/drum duets, improvised free jazz in short doses. (Only a few tracks exceed 4 minutes.) Mostly upbeat, with a casual air. Carrier keeps to an airy sound with his sax, sticking to musical forms rather than all-out abstraction. Lambert adds some solid, chattery drumming but also insers the occasional whistle or noisemaker for a different sound. Pretty much any track makes a nice little snack. A good followup to their "Kathmandu" live duo CD of a couple years ago. More tuneful -- 1,2, 5, 9, 11, 13, 18 More abstract -- 4, 10, 17, 20 1- Pleasant 2- Upbeat 3- Wood flute, a zenlike mid/fast 4- Clattery, clangy statement. 5- Upbeat. Clackety percussion work. 6- Cool rolling drums, like a waterfall. Sprinkles of sax that become a gnarled flow later. Nice intensity here, a less laid-back track. 7- Wood flute and ocarina? Tweety; goofing around. 8- Thoughtfully tuneful 9- Shuffly beat, calmly edge-walking sax 10- Fast drum clatter, warbly sax 11- Smoothly tuneful sax 12- A chipper stroll, turns into an upbeat winding journey (6:51) 13- Perky and upbeat, 14- Chipper; develops patiently 15- Sounds of water + drum clutter. (0:47) 16- Touches of blues. A nice jam. (6:41) 17- Short & slashing 18- Pleasant after cluttery start 19- Briskly jazzy 20- A touch more sour. Mid/fast. | ||
