Search - Steve Wilson, Lewis Nash :: Duologue

Recorded by MCG Jazz at Manchester Craftsmen s GuildTM, Pittsburgh, PA, March 16-17, 2013. Duologue, the orchestral duo of master musicians saxophonist Steve Wilson and drummer Lewis Nash, brings to mind poet William Blake s famous line a world in a grain of sand. Less can be more, and less can be less, and in this musical collaboration, less is much much more. A duo of saxophone and drums (with no bass or chordal instrument) is more common, in general, in the avant-garde wing of the jazz spectrum. The superb musicianship of Wilson and Nash, with their deep roots in both the history of their instruments and in the tradition, as well as their unusual repertoire and arrangements, give this duo a wonderfully rare and original flavor. -- Leslie Pintchik, New York City, 2014
