Fourteen short, improvised pieces from the duo of Joelle Leandre (double bass, voice) and Gianni Lenoci (piano, objects) that follow an aesthetic somewhere between jazz and contemporary music.
"Recorded in Italy in 2003, this album celebrates the first meeting between French bassist Joëlle Léandre and Italian pianist Gianni Lenoci. They offer a set of short improvised pieces, rich works freely developed, following an aesthetic residing somewhere between jazz and contemporary music. They move around in a highly-versatile musical space: the mood is given a highly-dynamic tone, at times soft, at times fiery, where exchanges are answered in harmony. The result of the daring combination of one of the great masters of improvisation and an artist showing a lot of potential, the intensity emanating from this duo knows no boundaries. As a matter of fact, Léandre admits that the duo is a format she feels very comfortable with."-Ambiance Magnetiques
