I'm really glad that Amazon is carrying this outstanding recording. It is, of course, a live set, and you are privy to a most profound musical dialogue. The recording quality is superb and the production is excellent.



These guys capture your interest from the very first notes. The music is filled with joy and anguish, starting slowly, gaining momentum, spilling over at times, speaking like two old friends who haven't seen each other in a while. You're eavesdropping each time you play the disc. You'll hear the raw blues and you'll hear faint whispers. You'll hear it all....and it is a treasure!



When you buy it, you'll get to read Ed Hazell's liner notes, which are actually on the back of the disc. He says it better than anyone else can.



Jemeel Moondoc on alto sax with William Parker on acoustic bass....musical dialogues of startling intimacy and enduring passion. You'll be more than happy when you get this one."
