Mystery Album #2


Well folks, it's that time again. You've had it easy for a while, with me just giving you albums and giving you reviews, and telling you what to like and how to like it. I think it's time you did a little work for your keep, eh? You know what I mean. Another guessing game.
Like the first mystery album, this is a duet album. And, like before, one of the players is among the best in the world on their instrument. And, like that one, it was given to me by the performers. It doesn't cover nearly as much stylistic terrain, but the music remains fresh and invigorating, feeling as though it was improvised even though it was carefully composed. Though traditional in some ways, it's definitely alive. That's all I'll tell you. Time for you to listen and figure a few things out for yourself.


*a few of you may have already heard this if i've shared it with you in other arenas. if so, keep mum.
