"David and I have known each other for four decades, but we didn't start playing together until 2006 when we began teaching at SF Waldorf High School. I realized that I had never had a duo with another tenor player. It's so good because we have a deep love for the instrument and the great practitioners that elevated it to an iconic status. Our music is an open love letter to the tenor saxophone. We have never talked about using compositions, it was just understood without ever saying anything that we would be an improvising unit.
Our music has a range in the way that we lead and accompany each other but also in the way that we can take independent routes to similar destinations. We employ the duo to explore the horn and its history. We have spent so many hours listening to tenor players together - that experience and the music is one singular conversation."-Philip Greenlief
