Fluidensity

"There is a stylistic ambiguity to the music—fully intended by the participants—that blurs the line between jazz and classical identification, or at least requires a reconsideration of one’s definition of where to draw the line in the first place...There is a stylistic ambiguity to the music—fully intended by the participants—that blurs the line between jazz and classical identification, or at least requires a reconsideration of one’s definition of where to draw the line in the first place...Total spontaneity involves risk-taking, and it occasionally seems that the duo may have devised some loose strategies, if not specific responses, in order to allow their improvisations to cohere, but the fluidity and interactive density (hence the album title) of their approach give them a lot of options to play with." ~Art Lange, Fanfare Magazine "FluiDensity is an elegant dance between jazz and classical, rendered by a couple of veteran hands experienced in the nuances of both. Such a bare setup enables so much more freedom and pure expression, and that’s just what is delivered on FluiDensity. These nine compositions were nothing more than informal discussions between takes before they were performed for the record. Thus, it’s a very instinctual set of recordings, and while there are some classical and jazz, it evokes those styles seemingly more by coincidence than some conscious effort to make an album that blends certain kinds of music...Together, the pair plays with one mind, like a solo performance involving two instruments." ~S.
